Thank you for sharing this! It looks like a very useful tool, especially for those of us who got burned by LocalStack's auth token requirement breaking CI pipelines.
I'm building SprintPulse (https://sprintpulse.io), a real-time retrospective tool that transforms team feedback into concrete action items. With AI-powered summaries, merge suggestions, and sentiment tracking, every voice is heard and nothing gets lost. With the Linear integration, you can easily export your action items to a Linear or Jira project.
Hey! I'm building SprintPulse - https://sprintpulse.io - a real-time retrospective tool designed with small teams in mind that transforms team feedback into concrete action items. With AI-powered summaries, merge suggestions, and sentiment tracking, every voice is heard and nothing gets lost.
If its similar to k9s and lens what sets it apart? Please don’t get upset from my questions, it’s not my intention. I am genuinely just wondering why I would pay for this tool when there are similar tools that are free to use. I actually tried your tool not long ago - I remembered now from the screenshot. At the time it didn’t support proxies if I remember correctly and I didn’t really see anything that would make me switch from k9s (my current favorite because I’m very fast using it with the keyboard). Perhaps I will try it again to see what’s changed.
I’m probably not going to try it because while it sounds interesting it seems expensive for me considering that there are free tools already available. How does this compare to Rancher for example?
Wow now I am even more confused. The Time column shows 3.67 for UDP and 7.32 for TCP. This seems to suggest that UDP is faster, but dig commands show the opposite. Why is that?
That's why I think it may be a problem on Macs, because I don't see the same issue on Linux either. I am not familiar with Wireshark. What should I be looking for? I tried but there's a lot of information for each packet.
It's up to you. You can configure it with one master or HA multiple masters (e.g.). If you set the instance count for the masters pool >1 then my tool will create a load balancer in front of the API server.
The tool simply requires a small YAML config file and creates and configures everything that you need to get a fully functional cluster in a few minutes. It creates all the infrastructure resources (servers etc), it deploys kubernetes on all the nodes, and then installs some software that allows you to provision both load balancers and persistent volumes. It also installs a controller that makes upgrading to a new version easier.
What the tool does not install is other apps, because this would be too opinionated and depends from cluster to cluster.
k3s because it has been around for a while, and it's something I have used almost since it was first made available.
Yes cluster upgrades are covered with the "upgrade" command, as described in the REAME. I use the Rancher's System Upgrade Controller for this, which makes rolling upgrades very easy and super quick.
Github Actions is perfectly fine, it's what I use both for personal stuff and at
work.
For the database, are you planning to host it in Kubernetes? Depending on the database type there may be an operator that can handle backups easily for you. For example for Postgres I have used the Zalando operator which does this and there is a newer one called CloudNativePG which might be even better. What kind of databases are they?
At the moment they are not static, so on Linux you may need to install a couple of packages depending on your system. I am going to try and compile a static version. On MacOS AFAIK it is not possible to compile a static binary.
