One Platform Could Not Fit Them All
summary
A retailer builds an Open Source Platform Framework called Cubera that packages entire Kubernetes platforms (not just apps) and wires Argo CD, External Secrets, Sveltos agents and Helm umbrella charts into a hub and spoke GitOps model. Load tests show scaling pain points — tests hit hundreds of clusters and projections target managing 15,000+ edge locations with tens of thousands of apps — and the framework works but needs sharding, fleet managers and community governance to be viable.
