console VS openelb

After that, we started planning for the frontend. I was informed that it would be similar to the Kubesphere-Console. So I tried out Kubesphere from the user perspective and started going through the codebase. In the beginning, the Kubesphere-Console was very overwhelming for me as I never worked with any large-scale React project before. I also didn't work with any React project with class-based components. In the meantime, I was also provided with designs in Figma. Sadly, I never used Figma earlier, but with the help of my kind mentors, I quickly learned to use it. After consulting with my mentor Changjiang Li, we decided to use React function-based components and Typescript for this project (in contrast to Kubesphere-console, where React class-based components and Javascript were used). I chose to use Typescript because debugging larger Javascript codebases is usually very challenging.

My project was "CNCF - OpenELB: Provide the OpenELB Web UI for managing EIP and IP pool". I had to develop a web console for creating and managing the OpenELB resources. Now you might be wondering what is OpenELB. Well, OpenELB is an open-source load balancer implementation designed for exposing the LoadBalancer type of Kubernetes services in bare metal, edge, and virtualization environments. You can learn more about it here https://openelb.io/. Here's the project URL https://github.com/openelb/openelb. It is a sandbox project in CNCF.
