I've been working on a Kubernetes Operator to deploy and manage Valkey Cluster (https://valkey.io). I was unsatisfied with the existing options available, and felt that it didn't hurt to create a new one.

I know a lot of folks are going to make the case that the Bitnami helm chart (https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/valkey-c...) is good enough, or just use a cloud provider option is ideal. And for some use cases that makes sense, but for a lot of other use cases, especially testing, and multi-tenant SaaS offerings I think an Operator provides a reliable mechanism to satisfy the middle ground.
