A way to spin up ephemeral containers in a running Kubernetes pod that have access to the same process namespace as the running ones. Used to run debugging tools in production.

A bot that creates pull requests for project dependency updates. Supports multiple target languages.

A free-as-in-freedom RHEL derivative similar to what CentOS was before it was converted into the CentOS Stream rolling release distribution, called into life by the original founder of CentOS.

A CI-agnostic build and deployment pipeline definition tool. Works locally, too.

A low-level build tool for OCI-compliant container images.

A container build tool that runs inside a container, requiring no additional privileges. Suitable for use inside a Kubernetes pod. Supports reproducible (timestamp-less) builds out of the box.

A web application and JMX client that runs in your Kubernetes cluster to pull Java Flight Recorder dumps from pods and store them in a central location for later processing.

While you can always use kubectl exec in conjunction with kubectl cp to pull a dump in a pinch, this sounds nicer.

A JavaScript rich text editor that can only do simple things and enforces a correspondingly simple structure on the document being edited. Takes HTML as input and outputs HTML, but deliberately does not allow direct HTML editing.

A JavaScript rich text editor that stores blocks (paragraphs, images, etc.) in a structured way. Each block is an entry in a JSON list. Paragraphs contain HTML inline.It seems a bit strange to me to mix JSON with HTML given that HTML itself is a mark-up language for semi-structured data.

Embedding it in XML as a dialect would have felt more natural to me. Such an arrangement would have been especially useful when the desired output format is not HTML, but, say, TeX or Markdown.

A PC boot loader with support for ZFS boot environments.

One benefit over GRUB is that being Linux-based, it supports all ZFS pool features. (With GRUB you generally have to maintain a separate boot pool with a restricted feature set or else be very careful about which features you enable on your pool.)

A continuous profiler. Run it next to your production servers and visualize the data later.
