Do y'all have an alternative? I like it a lot but seeing this thread I'm wondering if it's tunnel vision.

  We are working on one, not intending to fully substitute for helm, at least not in the short term. But adding to what helm lacks like easy version updates, dependency mgmt and easy customization. https://github.com/glasskube/glasskube https://github.com/glasskube/glasskube Would love to get some feedback on what could be done better.

    Oh, I was referring more to the templating side. On the cluster management side I'm already on ArgoCD, can't imagine doing pure helm install. Will add it to the "cool shit to check out" pile, thanks.

  generate manifests with https://cdk8s.io/docs/latest/plus/#getting-started https://cdk8s.io/docs/latest/plus/#getting-started (TS, Go, Java, Python) and apply them with kubectl/ArgoCD/etc. it supports writing tests, and in general, it gives you familiar tools.

    That's interesting, sounds like: * a good trade on the templating side (swapping the helm go-template-like thingy with a real language) * a loss on the cluster integration side, where I like the integration of helm with ArgoCD and would instead need to add a manifest generation step Will add it to the "cool shit to check out" pile, thanks.

  If you like it and it’s working for you, no harm in that. I don’t have a better alternative. Tend to just write my own thin tool on top of the raw kube api for my particular environment or use case. At the end of the day it’s a system that can be controlled via api like anything else. The yaml shenanigans are not strictly required.
