Show HN: A Novel CLI for Kubernetes with Cypher-Inspired Queries

3 years ago

I'm excited to share Cyphernetes, a CLI tool I've developed to enhance Kubernetes management. My aim was to create a more declarative approach to handling complex Kubernetes operations.

I'm a big fan of Neo4J's Cypher query language and believe it can lend itself well to the infrastructure domain. Drawing inspiration from the Cypher query language, Cyphernetes allows you to describe intricate Kubernetes tasks in a single, clear statement. I believe this approach can significantly streamline heavy Kubernetes operations, allow power-users to easily join data across resource kinds in Kubernetes and much more.

The project is at it's earliest milestone and supports performing GET operations using MATCH queries. The Cypher-like grammar implementation is incomplete - However using this today already "felt like something" so I decided to put this out there.

Implementation for CREATE, SET and DELETE clauses will come in the near future. Thanks for checking this out, contributions are of course welcome. Looking forward to hear your thoughts on this.
