## Project history and usage

Kyma CLI is the command-line companion for Kyma, SAP's open-source Kubernetes-based application runtime. It helps developers manage Kyma modules and deploy simple applications with short commands.

### Project history

Kyma started in 2017 and reached a 1.0 milestone announced on the Kubernetes blog on 2019-05-23, where SAP described donating the project to the open-source community. The CLI emerged as the developer tool for managing a Kyma cluster and smoothing application workflows on top of Kubernetes.

The Kyma project later moved from a monolithic release model to independently delivered modules. The Kyma CLI followed that platform shift: the repository README warns that the v2 command set is deprecated and points users toward v3 commands, while the user documentation emphasizes module management and direct interaction with Kyma custom resources.

### Adoption history

Kyma's adoption is tied to SAP BTP Kyma runtime and to organizations building cloud-native extensions around SAP and non-SAP systems. The CLI is a package-manager-friendly entry point for developers who want local commands rather than only dashboard or raw kubectl workflows.

### How it is used

The CLI is used to inspect Kyma commands, manage modules, and push simple applications into a Kyma environment. In package-manager terms it is a focused Kubernetes distribution tool: small binary, SAP/Kyma-specific verbs, and a close relationship to the platform's module lifecycle.

### Why package nerds care

Kyma CLI is notable as an enterprise Kubernetes ecosystem binary that packages SAP's platform opinions into a developer command. It shows how cloud runtimes often grow their own kubectl-adjacent CLIs once custom resources and module lifecycles become central.

### Timeline

- 2017: SAP Learning material says Project Kyma was started.
- 2019-05-23: The Kubernetes blog announced Kyma 1.0 and described SAP's donation of the project to open source.
- 2026-05-26: The kyma-project/cli releases page showed a 3.5.1 release entry dated 26 May.
