Hello HN, we're platform engineers working for a big company and we're working on Karpor(https://github.com/KusionStack/karpor), an open-source tool for Kubernetes. Karpor brings advanced Search, Insight and Intelligence to Kubernetes. You can gain crucial visibility into your kubernetes clusters across any clouds. Here is a demo video (https://youtu.be/_PqcpmrBqLk) and live demo (https://karpor-demo.kusionstack.io) with quickstart instructions.

As platform engineers, we are responsible for our Internal Developer Platform(IDP), and one of the ultimate goals of IDP is to enable true self-service for application developers. Drawing from our experience managing a large scale Internal Developer Platform at our company, we recognized an undeniable truth: having visibility (the capability to access and monitor data) and insight (the skill to glean valuable information from that data) is absolutely critical for fostering a self-service development environment. After all, trying to understand and diagnose issues without any information is like flying blind.

Here are some of the features Karpor already supports:

- Cross-cluster topological views, providing a global perspective of resources no matter where they are.

- Customized logical views to fit the resource organization models for different scenarios, such as applications, environments, etc, which may have different interpretations at places.

- Intuitive and effective search, providing a number of user-friendly ways to locate resources across clusters, such as keywords, SQL, and natural language.

- Low cognitive burden, it is read-only, non-invasive to the cluster it’s watching, and users can deploy it to their private environments with one click.

- Discover potential risks through compliance reports.

Currently, we are focused on resource timeline, problem diagnose and integrations with more tools like k8sgpt, aiming to bring much more interesting abilities to developers. Here is the complete roadmap (https://www.kusionstack.io/karpor/roadmap/).

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read! We'd greatly appreciate any feedback you have and hope you get the chance to try out Karpor.

Karpor looks like a fantastic tool for gaining visibility and insights into Kubernetes clusters. The cross-cluster views and intuitive search features are especially appealing. I appreciate that it's non-invasive and easy to deploy. Excited to see the roadmap evolve, particularly the integrations with tools like k8sgpt. Great work!
