Oh I see the operator now, looks decent. Before the deployment documentation I had found was very manual and full of a lot of pod exec commands.

Worked with many operators in the wild and anything that gives you more control through CRD/automation and less manual pod intervention is a huge win, let's us bake into our already existing pipelines for deployment and releases also. The Confluent($$$$)/Strimzi operators do well on that front. I'm super excited to have competition in this space!

I'll keep an eye out for the new release!

totally. we built a new team focused on the dev experience of k8s alone. 90seconds to prod (on a working eks cluster) with TLS, external certs, etc. That's the benchmark we're trying to hit :)
