TypeScript Function SDK

TypeScript Function SDK

We provide an opinionated Typescript SDK for implementing config functions. This provides various advantages:

• General-purpose language: Domain-Specific Languages begin their life with a reasonable feature set, but often grow over time. They bloat in order to accommodate the tremendous variety of customer use cases. Rather than follow this same course, config functions employ a true, general-purpose programming language that provides:
  • Proper abstractions and language features
  • A extensive ecosystem of tooling (e.g. IDE support)
  • A comprehensive catalog of well-supported libraries
  • Robust community support and detailed documentation
• Type-safety: Kubernetes configuration is typed, and its schema is defined using the OpenAPI spec. Typescript has a sophisticated type system that accommodates the complexity of Kubernetes resources. The SDK enables generating Typescript classes for core and CRD types, providing safe and easy interaction with Kubernetes objects.
• Batteries-included: The SDK provides a simple, powerful API for querying and manipulating configuration files. It provides the scaffolding required to develop, build, test, and publish functions, allowing you to focus on implementing your business-logic.
