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.
  • Bootstrap script for ingress-nginx, cert-manager, kube-prometheus-stack, Loki + Promtail.
  • Pre-baked Grafana dashboards: Cluster Overview, Ingress nginx, Next.js app.
  • Pre-baked Prometheus alert rules.

Next

  • Argo Rollouts integration. Canary and blue-green deployments through values flags. Optional.
  • Istio-free traffic split. Use ingress-nginx canary annotations to split traffic between two Helm releases. Lower complexity than a mesh.
  • Backup hooks. Velero install script for namespaced backup/restore.
  • Cost dashboard. Pre-baked Grafana dashboard reading kube-state-metrics + node prices to show spend per namespace.
  • HPA on custom metrics. Pattern + values for scaling on requests-per-second from the ServiceMonitor instead of CPU.

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.
  • A "platform-in-a-box" wrapper that combines this repo with terraform-stack so you provision the cluster + DNS + the full observability stack with one command.
  • An OpenTelemetry collector chart with sane defaults for log/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 — the chart's smallness is a feature.
