  • timoni

    Timoni is a package manager for Kubernetes, powered by CUE and inspired by Helm.

    • Let's see if https://github.com/stefanprodan/timoni will bring some fresh air, knowing Cuelang I think it has the potential for doing so.

  • ytt

    YAML templating tool that works on YAML structure instead of text

    • Adding https://carvel.dev/ytt/ to the list. I was happy using this tool as IMO it mixes good things from Helm and Kustomize, however the syntax is ugly and repelling my colleagues to have a closer look.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
