  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • kubecost-lens-extension

    A Kubecost extension for the Lens K8s IDE that adds namespace cost data.

  • To help engineering teams, we published an early version of a new open source integration with Lens. It provides a direct view into Kubernetes costs so you can understand what is driving overall costs and how efficiently they are being spent. In this first release you can see cost trends for any workload aggregation, e.g. pod, deployment, statefulset, namespace. Future releases will be driven by the feedback we receive, so join Kubecost Slack community (link below!) and let us know what features you'd like to see.

  • Lens is the most powerful IDE for those who need to deal with Kubernetes clusters on a daily basis. It allows you to manage your cluster and view important health metrics. A Kubecost and Lens integration allows you to also visualize Kubernetes costs directly in the Lens UI. With Lens and Kubecost you can view costs and spend efficiency by namespace, pod, deployment and more!

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
