    A topology map with observed traffic, application maps and logs, and a pod table that scales to 10,000

    • Select several namespaces at once, in every list and on the Topology
    • Observed traffic from Istio, Linkerd, Beyla, Caretta or Hubble metrics, with nothing installed
    • A pod table that stays quick at 10,000 pods, and Linux and Windows installers

  2. Where it started ·

    The idea: a Kubernetes client that tells you what is wrong

    Every Kubernetes client we used did the same thing: it listed the pods and left the conclusion to us. The CrashLoopBackOff was right there on screen; the reason was three commands away, in the logs of a container that had already died.

    PodSteer started from one question — what would it take for the tool to draw the conclusion? — and three rules that have held ever since: native rather than Electron, nothing to sign in to, and nothing on screen it cannot back with the cluster's own state.
