        Timoni uses CUE for defining apps and OCI artifacts for distributing them.
        Bundles compose apps into deployable units, and the CLI manages their lifecycle on Kubernetes clusters.

        <CardGroup cols={3}>
          <Card title="App definition" icon="layer-group" href="/module">
            Software vendors define complex application deployments packaged as modules,
            using type-safe Kubernetes templates and rich customisation options for end-users.
          </Card>

          <Card title="App distribution" icon="cloud-arrow-up" href="/cue/module/publishing">
            The app configuration contained in a module is distributed as an OCI artifact,
            next to the app container images. Modules are semantically versioned and cryptographically signed.
          </Card>

          <Card title="App lifecycle" icon="arrows-spin" href="/bundle">
            With bundles, users manage the whole lifecycle of applications deployed on Kubernetes:
            customised installation, seamless upgrades, end-to-end testing, safe rollback and uninstallation.
          </Card>

          <Card title="App composition" icon="object-group" href="/bundle-runtime">
            Bundle microservices and distributed monoliths into a deployable unit. The Bundle Runtime API
            offers a declarative way of managing the app delivery across environments.
          </Card>

            Manage the lifecycle of Kubernetes controllers, including the upgrade of CRDs.
            Module authors can import CRD schemas from YAML files and use custom resources in their modules.
          </Card>

          <Card title="Drift detection and correction" icon="code-fork" href="/cmd/timoni_apply">
            Review the cluster state diff before an upgrade. When correcting drift, Timoni waits for the
            changes to roll out and reports back the application health status.
