Are there any other good pluggable-reconciliation-loop frameworks that aren't Kubernetes? (Where you can use entirely custom CRDs/controllers but it's pushing it a bit).
I find it odd there's not other obvious ones out there considering how nice it is as a code architecture...
@andrew not sure if it quite counts as a framework, but AWS IoT (and most IoT devices in practice) use the same sort of reconciliation loop. Client pushes desired state to a central data store which then gets replicated to a device, the device takes that state, adjusts to accommodate it, and sends a reported state back for the client.
@andrew it is indeed a lovely architecture to work with for most things (with a few hairy edge cases for stuff where you really do just want to take an action right now, and if reconciliation is delayed by more than a few seconds there’s no point doing it later).
