well that's the root of the problem, no? there's no one who wants to maintain the complex lua written to make nginx cloud native. they were looking for maintainers for quite some time with no one stepping up
and I'm not surprised, their issue tracker always was full of very entitled people, so you would be doing a stressful/thankless job... for what exactly?
But the point is this, it worked, it does work and will, if given developer time continue to work.
I now need to schedual in time to test the changes, then adjust the metrics and alerting that we have.
For no gain.
It just feels like kuberenetes is carbon fibre programming.
