Really nice project, and really hoping these efforts could make devs lives easier! Alibaba indeed built a OSS project named KubeVela (https://kubevela.io) with similar goal though with a bit different approach:

1. Modeling all platform capabilities with Helm/CUE modules, so essentially a PaaS built with Helm/CUE.

2. Self-service workflow based on above LEGO-style components.

3. No specific add-on system, so just Helm charts.

We also auto-gen forms based on Helm/CUE, it's great more and more products are leveraging this capability and wider ecosystem.

It's great to see enterprises like Alibaba build out these types of internal developer platform (IDP) around Helm. We've talked to the engineers who built out these IDP's at different companies because we wanted to build a generalized solution that is not specific to one company's devops culture. We hope to democratize IDP's to smaller companies who can't afford to build things out themselves internally!
