Really nice work!

Question: How are snapshots implemented? Are you using k8s native snapshots (which I think are alpha?) or other?

EDIT: Looks like snapshots are per db feature: https://github.com/kubedb/project/issues/337

Hopefully Kubedb can leverage K8S snapshots when they mature

My first impression is that your Concepts > Overview section needs to go on your front page. Because it's not obvious just what the product is. Other than that, looks cool.

I thought the front page was quite helpful for figuring out what the product was (once I realized the HN link pointed to the documentation page and not the front page).

Same here. I didn't know what the elevator pitch is.

On the other hand, when I looked it up, this sounds like a really interesting project, exposing DBs as application resources.

There is something I remember from CloudFoundry (though I don't know if this is working anymore), and that is with adding in dependencies like databases into the specs for an application.

I kinda wonder if that could be done: add an annotation on a pod spec which the operator can look for and set up the database (if it doesn't exist) and provision credentials.

Ah! I didn't even notice I was not on the front page!

Yeah, don’t feel bad. It took me a while as well.
