Kubernetes Deployment

Hi Guys, I've just run across your system after watching a BetterStack review (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgWHATQzkHk), and I think it looks really interesting. I thought you might be interested to hear from a potential customer...

I'm an enterprise architect and I've worked for some of the biggest banks in the world (and still do). We are incredibly paranoid and conservative. We maintain control of our supply chains. We maintain vendor contracts for emergency support. Regulations govern our systems.

Fintechs and banks like mine cannot deploy your system as is. We cannot deploy old versions of postres, random proxies, outdated messaging systems that should have been scrapped years ago. We cannot use 'slack'. Minio might be the only peripheral component that we can use, but with caution. We don't want your ingress controller or your monitoring. And we have been trying for years to purge our systems of the pile of shit that is Helm.

What I want to see is a cloud native operator, integration with my existing databases (postgres 18 baby) and busses (kafka - actually, RedPanda, but its the same interface). We want to use our own monitoring, our own proxies (we use istio, therefore envoy is deployed in every pod), our own ingress, our own security and logging.

I guess there might be some smaller unsophisticated shops that might want this as it stands, but most companies using jira are cloud native. I'm not sure there's a use-case for a complex enterprise class system running on my laptop. At that scale, a plain text document would be enough to manage requirements and bugs - this system isn't needed. This is an enterprise class system, but you've targeted the system at smaller entities and I don't know why - they don't need it.

Good luck with it. It looks like a great system and I'd be happy to trial it if I could deploy it securely (*which I can't right now).

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll continue trying this project out - it looks really promising. Thanks for the hard work, and thanks for making it open source. I might have a use for it without the UI, actually. I'm doing a lot of spec based AI work right now, and I suppose I could deploy your server component and write an MCP driver for it, then my agents can use it like a human team would only without the UI.
