helm-diff

A helm plugin that shows a diff explaining what a helm upgrade would change (by databus23)

Nginx

An official read-only mirror of http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/ which is updated hourly. Pull requests on GitHub cannot be accepted and will be automatically closed. The proper way to submit changes to nginx is via the nginx development mailing list, see http://nginx.org/en/docs/contributing_changes.html (by nginx)

    So helm secrets is a helm plugin, not quite native. It requires the helm diff plugin as well.

    Yeah, unless I'm looking at it wrong, there doesn't seem to be any meaningful difference between 1.25.5 and 1.26.0:

  • How to securely reverse-proxy ASP.NET Core web apps
    3 projects | dev.to | 4 Apr 2024
    However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

    > I actually don't understand why I am seeing arguments like this all the time.

    Have a look at:

    https://github.com/nginx/nginx/blob/master/src/http/modules/...

    It's got the whole checklist: nginx idiosyncratic module system, inline parsing, custom utf conversion, buffer preallocation and adjustments, linked lists, comments about side effects of custom allocator, and probably other things.

    It's not easy to deal with source like that and any serious improvement to that area would effectively be a rewrite anyway.

    Since anything doing work in nginx is a module anyway, it wouldn't even have to be a full rewrite in one go.

    Apache’s mod_fastcgi’s last commit was 2 weeks ago:

    https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/

    It’s a fork of what you linked (and was more popular afaik back when fastcgi was state of the art, and apache was the undisputed champion of web servers).

    These days, nginx has more market share than apache, and its fastcgi module is one of the more recently updated ones in its source tree (5 months vs multiple years):

    https://github.com/nginx/nginx/tree/master/src/http/modules

    If I was going to build an embedded web server, I’d start with nostd rust, probably with though axum + tokio, since thats already memory safe-ish.

    If I needed fastcgi for some reason (dynamically loadable endpoints, or os-level isolation), there are at least four implementations of fastcgi for it. No idea if any are decent though.

  • Five Apache projects you probably didn't know about

    APISIX is an API Gateway. It builds upon OpenResty, a Lua layer built on top of the famous nginx reverse-proxy. APISIX adds abstractions to the mix, e.g., Route, Service, Upstream, and offers a plugin-based architecture.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing helm-diff and Nginx you can also consider the following projects:

chartmuseum - helm chart repository server

Caddy - Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

charts - ⚠️(OBSOLETE) Curated applications for Kubernetes

envoy - Cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy

helm - The Kubernetes Package Manager

Squid - Squid Web Proxy Cache

k8s-platform-lcm - A faster and easier way to manage the lifecycle of applications and tools, running and living around your Kubernetes platform

nestjs-monorepo-microservices-proxy - Example of how to implement a Nestjs monorepo with no shared folder

chart-releaser - Hosting Helm Charts via GitHub Pages and Releases

Hiawatha - Hiawatha is an open source webserver with security, easy to use and lightweight as the three key features. Hiawatha supports among others (Fast)CGI, IPv6, URL rewriting and reverse proxy. It has security features no other webserver has, like blocking SQL injections, XSS and CSRF attacks and exploit attempts. The built-in monitoring tool makes it perfect for large scale deployments.

helmfile - Declaratively deploy your Kubernetes manifests, Kustomize configs, and Charts as Helm releases. Generate all-in-one manifests for use with ArgoCD.

YARP - A toolkit for developing high-performance HTTP reverse proxy applications.
