K8qu is a Kubernetes Custom Resource Definition (CRD) controller that allows you to create simple Queues for other resource creations on your cluster. The perfect companion in your CICD pipelines (like Tekton) and plain Jobs for Kubernetes.
K8qu came to be what it is today because of the lack of a simple solution of queueing in Tekton and other places within the Kubernetes ecosystem. It tries to keep a simple stupid model for queuing resource creations in your cluster without the need for a complete queuing solution. Just a simple Kubernetes controller and as little as CRD's as possible. No databases or other persistency needed. It doesn't want to be a perfect queue, but rather a simple one.
In combination with other frameworks this can become a powerfull addition.
So how does it look like? Well... like this!
apiVersion: k8qu.io/v1alpha1
kind: QueueJob
metadata:
name: simple-job
spec:
queue: "abc"
executionTimeout: "20s"
templates:
- apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
# ....
