Closing the Developer Experience Gap in the Kubernetes Ecosystem
summary
Argues Kubernetes gives powerful primitives but leaves developers stitching them together, and shows concrete extensions that close that gap: Carvel (kapp/ytt) manages config and packages as cluster CRs, kpack builds images in-cluster from Cloud Native Buildpacks, Tekton runs CI tasks, Knative serving gives immutable revisions and weighted traffic routing, Service Binding injects credentials, Flux implements pluggable GitOps sources, and Cartographer wires these CRs into supply chains so a git push can auto-build, deploy and cascade-delete.
