A Kubernetes API client for Elixir featuring autodiscovery, multiple cluster support, and comprehensive authentication.
K8s is a full-featured Kubernetes API client library for the Elixir programming language. It provides a robust and intuitive interface for interacting with Kubernetes clusters, enabling developers to build operators, schedulers, and other cloud-native tools directly in Elixir. The library automatically discovers Kubernetes resources, groups, and CRDs at boot time without requiring swagger files.
Elixir developers building cloud-native applications, Kubernetes operators, schedulers, or tools that require programmatic interaction with Kubernetes clusters. It is particularly suited for teams leveraging Elixir's concurrency and fault-tolerance features in Kubernetes environments.
Developers choose K8s for its human-centric API design that prioritizes developer experience with an intuitive Elixir interface, while offering autodiscovery of Kubernetes resources, support for multiple clusters and authentication methods, and macro-free performance for fast compilation and startup.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Kubernetes resources, groups, and CRDs are autodiscovered at boot time without requiring swagger files, reducing manual configuration and errors.
Supports connections to multiple clusters with various authentication methods, including service accounts and certificates, as shown in the connection examples.
Prioritizes developer experience with an intuitive Elixir interface, making it seamless for Elixir developers to interact with Kubernetes APIs.
Macro-free design ensures fast compilation and startup times, beneficial for applications needing quick deployment cycles.
Ties projects to the Elixir ecosystem, which may not align with teams using other technologies or requiring broader tooling support beyond Elixir.
Compared to Kubernetes clients in languages like Go or Python, the Elixir community has fewer pre-built integrations or extensive documentation, potentially increasing development time for custom needs.
Developers unfamiliar with Elixir or Mix may find setup and usage more complex than using kubectl or clients in more common languages, despite the human-centric API.
