Reverse K8s resources: from YAML to Go structs
summary
A CLI named reverse-kube-resource converts YAML Kubernetes manifests (Helm, Kustomize) into buildable Go code that uses upstream API packages, preserving only fields present in the YAML. It decodes with API machinery into runtime objects, compares against an unstructured map to drop defaults, then emits Go via reflection and AST walking. Practical uses: migrating Helm-rendered YAML to Go (used in two companies), repo has 20 stars on GitHub, CRD schema detection is still WIP.
