I'm the post author, and a long-time Crossplane maintainer. To my knowledge this is the most advanced open source control plane anyone's built with Crossplane. Happy to chat about …

We certainly design Crossplane with the intent that end-users will interact with a "Composite Resource" API, not use MRs directly. Little bit like end-users using a Terraform modul…

We've thought about a client-side tool to diff desired from most-recently-observed actual state, similar to tf plan. Nothing built yet though. FWIW though we never automatically de…
