What's Good
Apache-2.0 (kagent-dev/kagent). Cloud-native agent framework with UI for agent ops, active releases, Discord, and OpenSSF best-practices badge. Homepage kagent.dev. Aimed at platform teams who want agents on the same orchestration plane as the rest of the stack.
The Catch
Vs google-adk / mastra / langgraph / agentgateway: ADK/Mastra/LangGraph are code-first agent frameworks; Agentgateway is an MCP/A2A proxy — kagent’s catch is Kubernetes-native agent build/deploy/manage. You need a real cluster and K8s fluency; not the right first tool for a laptop coding-agent seat.
Verdict
Apache K8s-native agents when fleet deploy lives in the cluster — not ADK/Mastra app frameworks and not Agentgateway proxy alone.
