Kubernetes' API-server is a fairly small shim over etcd, another ReST data-store. MongoDB provides a similar web-ful data-store that probably greatly eases implementation, is low-impedance.

Not that I would do the same, but I can understand to some degree.

It kinda makes sense if you render objects as json (vanilla apiserver use protobufs on the wire except for crds). Im curious if mongodb supports CAS semantic properly - i heard transactions are still a pain there
