Lightning Talk: Beyond Operators: Reimagine Distributed Applications on Kubernetes
summary
Argues Kubernetes needs a smaller runtime API for native distributed apps and demonstrates a POC: a lightweight coordinator that launches worker pods, registers for pod-ready events via the Kubernetes API, and exchanges HTTP callbacks with workers. Uses existing Kubernetes objects (no new primitives), an event-driven API inspired by actors, runs as a binary on a laptop proof-of-concept that actually launches pods and communicates, and aims to add leader election, storage, and service primitives.
