The one very unique thing about Kubernetes is the approach of unified resource definitions and some kind of unified API for everything. It is very unlikely of anything I've encountered so far. I think that it's possible to build some kind of universal API engine on the same principles. It feels like untapped potential. Like you're creating new database entities by defining CRDs and getting the whole CRUD operations automatically. You're creating your microservices as something like k8s controllers working in loop to adjust your system to the spec.

I think the loop-to-spec approach is rather primitive and hard to debug when you have a lot of loops trying to converge on their own myopic vision of the state. The API is well organized and powerful, that's for sure.
