    Klaw.sh – Kubernetes for AI agents▲60

    Hi everyone, I run a generative AI infra company, unified API for 600+ models. Our team started deploying AI agents for our marketing and lead gen ops: content, engagement, analytics across multiple X accounts. OpenClaw worked fine for single agents. But at ~14 agents across 6 accounts, the problem shifted from "how do I build agents" to "how do I manage them." Deployment, monitoring, team isolation, figuring out which agent broke what at 3am. Classic orchestration problem. So I built klaw, modeled on Kubernetes: Clusters — isolated environments per org/project Namespaces — team-level…

    X509-certificate-exporter – Prometheus exporter for TLS cert expiration▲8

    Certificates expire silently. Kubernetes won't warn you, and most teams find out when something breaks. This exporter watches PEM files, kubeconfigs, Kubernetes TLS secrets, and PKCS#12 bundles, and exposes expiration as Prometheus metrics you can alert on. It works standalone too, no Kubernetes required. A Grafana dashboard is included. The new release is a major rewrite, built from experience running this across a large number of production clusters. The main pain point it addresses: at scale, with thousands of certificates, the exporter was putting too much pressure on the Kubernetes API.…
