Architecting Data Management for a Kubernetes-Native, Multi-Cluster World
summary
Clutch is an open source control plane (published under the uploader’s aacho license) that exposes centralized metadata and kubernetes-native CRDs so developer clusters create remote databases without running operators locally. It integrates Crossplane and multiple automation backends (anynines, AWS, Azure, RDS), provides service plans and service bindings for credentials and secrets, and supports backup/restore workflows; roadmap includes dynamic network/firewall sync. anynines reports 10 FTEs operating automation across 40,000 virtual machines and declarative automation raises instances per operator from ~150–200 to ~4,000.
