Roadmap

Our roadmap is always being updated and improved:

• A new streamlined interface that works better for git flows and complex configuration scenarios, where cognitive load is high
• Additional work on the git and gitops flows, including conflict management and pull request creation
• Better CRD management
• A CLI
• Advanced features for cluster management
• Drift analysis
• Integration to other open source projects about configuration for K8s
• Improved templates for K8s resources, CRD, and Helm and Kustomize

Don't hesitate to provide any feedback you might have to help us prioritize and improve our backlog!
