Building Production-Ready Kubernetes Operators
summary
Red Hat Developer Hub Operator manages Backstage using operator-sdk and controller-runtime in Go, merging a default config with the CR spec, applying plugin dependencies and optional local Postgres; it runs on OpenShift and uses an explicit config-hash restart to force containers to pick up ConfigMap changes. A built-in Lightspeed flavor with Vertex AI loads RAG data via init containers and works after adding secrets in the demo, illustrating practical reconciliation, status reporting, and extensibility.
