Connecting Applications with Operator-backed Services
summary
Demonstrates using the open-source service-binding-operator to automatically collect credentials and config from Operator-backed services (Postgres, etc.), create an intermediate Secret with fields like JDBC_URL, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and patch application Deployments so they consume those values. Shows many-to-many bindings, cross-namespace binding, CRD/OLM annotations for exposing fields, and go-template custom env names. Live demo runs three scenarios (same-namespace, multi-service, cross-namespace) and shows readiness conditions flipping true when binding succeeds.
