Renovate – The Kubernetes-Native Way
Hey folks, we built a Kubernetes operator for Renovate and wanted to share it. Instead of running Renovate as a cron job or relying on hosted services, this operator lets you manage it as a native Kubernetes resource with CRDs. You define your repos and config declaratively, and the operator handles scheduling and execution inside your cluster. No external dependencies, no SaaS lock-in, no webhook setup. The whole thing is open source and will stay that way – there's no paid tier or monetization plan behind it, we just needed this ourselves and figured others might too. Would love to hear…

In plain words
Renovate Kubernetes Operator is an open-source tool that runs Renovate as a native Kubernetes resource using custom resource definitions instead of cron jobs or hosted services. Users define repositories and configuration declaratively, and the operator handles scheduling and execution within their cluster. It eliminates external dependencies, webhook setup, and vendor lock-in. Designed for development teams managing dependencies in Kubernetes environments, it offers self-hosted control with no paid tiers or monetization.

From the sources
Run Renovate as a Kubernetes resource: repos and schedules are CRDs, jobs are isolated per repo, webhooks trigger immediate runs, and a built-in UI replaces digging through pod logs. For teams running Renovate self-hosted at scale, beyond what a cron job or SaaS runner can handle. No external database, no license key, no SaaS lock-in. Configurable parallelism, non-root execution by default.MIT License, fully open source
Operator to streamline renovate executions in Kubernetes - mogenius/renovate-operator
Run Renovate on your own infrastructure with CRD-based scheduling, parallel execution, auto-discovery, and a built-in UI. If you self-host Renovate and already run Kubernetes, this operator gives you the control and observability that plain self-hosted setups lack. Supports all Renovate platforms: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Gitea, and more. The operator works with any platform supported by Renovate - simply configure your credentials and platform settings via environment variables or secrets. Note that some platforms have additional operator-specific features like native webhook integrations for GitHub and GitLab. helm -n renovate-operator upgrade --install renovate-operator \…from github.com

Koreo – A platform engineering toolkit for Kubernetes2025 · koreo.dev · ▲120A large part of our (Real Kinetic's) business is helping organizations implement platform engineering, but we've found the existing tooling to be lacking. For IaC, Terraform state becomes a pain because TF treats infrastructure as "one-shot" commands. The Kubernetes controller model provides a nicer approach to managing infrastructure, but the tooling here is also lacking. For configuration management, Helm just doesn't really scale with complexity, nor does Kustomize. For resource orchestration, Crossplane is a step in the right direction but still has challenges and limitations. As a…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
