A couple of months ago, my friend and I started working on Cyclops, a tool that helps deploy applications to a Kubernetes cluster.
We got the idea for the tool because Kubernetes was a nightmare to understand when we started getting our hands dirty with it. Companies we worked for had the issue where all dev teams needed to own their K8s configuration, which in turn slowed down development, and has caused its fair share of outages because applications were misconfigured.
The goal is to save time for developers who are not that familiar with Kubernetes and allow them to click through the UI instead of battling configuration and possibly tearing down your system.
It renders a form dynamically based on your needs; instead of handling YAML files, it transforms your Helm chart into a UI form based on your values schema. UI comes with all the validation rules your schema defines, so developers have less room to make mistakes and follow best practices.
