Roadmap

The toolkit is opinionated and small on purpose. Roadmap items are the ones that fit that posture.

Now

  • Helm chart for Next.js apps with deployment, service, ingress, HPA, PDB, ServiceMonitor, zone-aware topology spread, and a hardened security context.
  • Version-pinned bootstrap script for ingress-nginx, cert-manager, kube-prometheus-stack, Loki 3.x with Promtail, and OpenCost.
  • GitOps install through an ArgoCD app-of-apps that pins the same component versions.
  • Bundled Grafana dashboards: Next.js app and OpenCost spend.
  • Bundled Prometheus alert rules.
  • End-to-end test suite that renders the chart with Helm and asserts on the objects.

Next

  • HPA on custom metrics. Pattern and values for scaling on requests per second from the ServiceMonitor instead of CPU.
  • ingress-nginx canary traffic split. Split traffic between two Helm releases using canary annotations. Lower complexity than a mesh.
  • Backup hooks. Velero install path for namespaced backup and restore.
  • Flux variant. A Flux Kustomization mirroring the ArgoCD app-of-apps, for teams standardised on Flux.

Maybe

  • A second chart for Python (FastAPI) apps with the same shape. Most of the work is already done; the question is whether to keep the project tightly Next.js focused or broaden it.
  • A platform-in-a-box wrapper that combines this repo with terraform-stack so you provision the cluster, DNS, and the full stack with one command.
  • An OpenTelemetry collector chart with sane defaults for trace shipping to Tempo.

Not planned

  • A service mesh. Out of scope.
  • A custom operator. The chart is plain Helm and stays that way.
  • Multi-cluster federation. If you need that, you are past what this toolkit is for.
  • A web UI for the chart. Helm is the UI.

How to contribute

Open an issue describing the gap. PRs welcome for new dashboards or alert rules. For chart template changes, please discuss first, because the chart's smallness is a feature.
