Howdy PH 👋 Eyal, Roy, and Nadav right here – the workforce at the back of Radar. We additionally construct Skyhook, YC W23.

We now have sought after a greater Kubernetes UI for a very long time. kubectl is robust, however day by day cluster paintings nonetheless finally ends up break up throughout terminals, dashboards, Helm, Argo/Flux, cloud consoles, and log equipment.

The present choices all have tradeoffs. Lens misplaced the OSS consider that made folks adore it. FreeLens is a welcome fork, however nonetheless carries the similar heavy Electron desktop fashion. Headlamp comes in handy, however shallow as soon as you need deeper operations – Helm, GitOps, visitors, audits. k9s is superb when you reside within the terminal, however no longer everybody does. And the SaaS equipment regularly worth by means of node and ask for a piece e-mail prior to they help you have a look at your personal cluster.

So we constructed the Kubernetes UI we needed: speedy, local-first, open supply, and no longer locked at the back of an account. We quietly shipped it a few months in the past. The group took it previous 1.4k GitHub stars and gave us far more comments than we anticipated, so we stored delivery. Nowadays is the right kind release.
