k8dash VS kptop

Skooner (https://skooner.io/) is a nice alternative to Lens too. It offers a mobile view too which no other tool is offering right now (Not even Lens!). Devtron (https://github.com/devtron-labs/devtron) is also a good alternative to Lens. It is open source and lets you view pods and exec into pods just like Lens. It manages Helm charts better than Lens.

Then the next step can be using Docker and Kubernetes. Your application will be running inside the Docker container and Kubernetes will be managing all the resources. So Kubernetes can do already some scaling and allocate more resources to your application when needed. As well you can use Skooner (https://github.com/skooner-k8s/skooner) , a dashboard for Kubernetes. From there you can see if your Kubernetes configuration is optimal or it needs some tweaking (more CPU, more RAM, perhaps bigger disk...).

Skooner—previously known as "K8Dash"—is the first entry on this list to directly target the use case of being a Kubernetes dashboard. It gives you everything you'd want in a dashboard, from viewing your configurations and workloads to even managing them and editing the YAML directly in the UI.

Having received a face-lift and new name, Skooner continues to be a leading open-source tool for holistically monitoring Kubernetes. The developers behind the project tout the simplicity and real-time availability of their solution—no refreshes or manual polling is required to fetch system data as it’s collected. Additionally, the YAML provided within the tool’s resource repository allows you to start leveraging Skooner in just a minute’s time.
