  4. Dapper

    Not to be confused with the _other_ β€œDapper” that .NET folks may be familiar with! [1]

  5. helmfile

    Deploy Kubernetes Helm Charts (by roboll)

  6. helm

    About the namespace, I usually modify it manually if it’s a few files, otherwise use some post processing like https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/3553#issuecomment-417800...
