A bit off topic, but you might want to rethink the name. It is very close to EDEKA, the largest German supermarket chain. They have a very large IT division ( https://it.edeka ) and judging from the name of your project I was expecting it to be one of their projects.

me too

What a great fortune to reach top of HN and get product feedback, then get rate limited by GitHub ( that was an easy fix though...) Then Hetzner gets a partial outage, failing to create new instances, causing most of the new cluster to get stuck in "creating" mode. Thanks everyone for the interest, I was not expecting this from a side project and I'll do my best to improve the platform in the future and address all feedback received.

Site doesn't answer how storage is 'solved'. Is this solution uses local folder provisioning when using PostgreSQL for example.

Sorry for that, I wasn't expecting such interest. There are still undocumented parts, but happy to answer any question. It uses https://github.com/hetznercloud/csi-driver to attach persistent volumes to PostgreSQL pods.

I wonder how trustworthy hetzner distributed storage is. I always saw hetzner as just a control plane to allocate bare compute and nothing more, I wouldn’t necessarily trust their managed storage solutions, but I also don’t have much experience with it.

Honestly I’m kindof surprised that something like rook it not used instead, but I guess it is easier to trust hetzner storage and hope for the best.

An Hetzner employee once told me that they’ve been trying for years to develop their own Kubernetes-as-a-service solution, I wonder if they’re still working on that or not.

Years?! what. the. actual. fuck

Well, I guess from a platform that has no intrinsic IAM offering, I take that back, I guess keeping track of whose special console password is the current one is, in fact, hard work
