  • Writing a Kubernetes Operator
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Mar 2023
    Since Go got generics, working with the Kubernetes API could become far more ergonomic. It's been pulling teeth until now. I'm eager to see how the upstream APIs change over time.

    In the mean time, one of the creators of the Operator Framework[0] built a bunch of useful patterns using generics that we used to build the SpiceDB Operator[1] called controller-idioms[2].

    Does anyone know of other efforts to improve the status quo?
