Questions for Heroku-like Project

1. OpenFaaS

   1 59 25,688 6.4 Go

   OpenFaaS - Serverless Functions Made Simple

   

   This is where I see K8S coming in – teachers can provide dev deployments that are setup for students to learn. Teachers can also provide containers that run automated tests against the student containers for assessment! Plus, we can smooth over some of the git workflow stuff for the ripest of beginners; we can integrate with github to sync their work on our platform to repositories on their github account, so that they can really take ownership of the work they do on the platform. Last, students can graduate their work from development into production very easily, since we can take the base images + student diffs, build a new "prod" image for the student. We can run students' prod work on "serverless" K8S frameworks like fission or OpenFaas to be able to host many low-traffic "production" apps at the same time.

2. InfluxDB

4. vcluster

   3 80 10,593 9.8 Go

   vCluster - Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters - Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces.

   

   I think namespaces, RBAC and network policies are sufficient to partition users from the same organisation. I would investigate the use of vcluster ig you want to give your users even more isolation and capability (such as installing CRDs)

5. devspace-plugin-loft

   4 57 20 2.8

   Loft Plugin for DevSpace - adds commands like `devspace create space` or `devspace create vcluster` to DevSpace

   

   There are some products available, for example Loft who open sourced vcluster

6. epinio

   5 11 557 7.2 Go

   Opinionated platform that runs on Kubernetes, that takes you from App to URL in one step.

   

   Epinion

7. liqo

   6 18 1,270 9.6 Go

   Enable dynamic and seamless Kubernetes multi-cluster topologies

   

   I suggest examining liqo which allows you to peer clusters with each other. Might be what you're looking for: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2021/04/12/simplifying-multi-clusters-in-kubernetes/
