  Open Application Model (OAM). (by oam-dev)

  

The spec doesn't appear to address the 12-factor app spec which does a similar job in a more general way.

  A docker-powered PaaS that helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications

  

K8s is one of many options to collaborate and scale applications and for many organizations it is not the best option. Oracle and Alibaba building a large abstraction on top of kubernetes, to do something kubernetes was not designed to do (though capable of doing), is not the direction I personally believe distributed systems development should standardize around.

There are tons of self-hosted PaaS options that are not built on top of massive abstractions and provide better functionality to their users. Since you mentioned Heroku i'll mention https://github.com/dokku/dokku.

  kapp is a simple deployment tool focused on the concept of "Kubernetes application" — a set of resources with the same label

  

I really like this approach for simplifying Kubernetes. A few projects similar to OAM in that it provides a higher level "Application" CRD:
