The committee wanted Cosmos, Azure, and Postgres all in the name and wouldn't compromise.

Lima (1) is a project that packages Linux distros for MacOS and executes them via qemu in the backend. Maybe you could solve your problem by launching one of their vms and inspecting the command line it generates. You might find an option you were missing.

K3S includes some extras that make it nice for working in small local clusters, but are not part of the standard k8s codebase.

* Traefik daemonset as a load balancer

* Helm controller that lets you apply helm manifests without the helm command line

* Upgrade controller

* Sqlite as the default backing store for the k8s API

* Their own local storage provisioner

K0S has a lot of the same goals: be light weight and self contained in a single binary. But K0S tries to be as vanilla as possible.

Choosing between the two it comes down to your use case. Do you want light weight and compatible (k0s), or lightweight and convenient (k3s)?

Edit: formatting

You are getting a lot of troll replies, but it is actually interesting to think about.

The waste is uncaptured value. It is some part of your software business's domain that is just too hard, expensive, or requiring physical intervention to encode the process in their system. So the business never chooses to build that feature. This leaves some part of your business's problem domain unsolved. Potentially someone else smaller could come in and try and solve that problem and capitalize on that wasted value.

I think human programming is not untapped at all. This is describing every line of business application in existence. A great example of both the power and limitations of this is phone trees for customer support.

A product team and dev team encode business knowledge and flows into code and leverage a human to make judgement calls when necessary. The outcome is a program that can either be used by skilled workers to multiply their output or allow unskilled workers to perform tasks that would have formerly required a skilled worker to accomplish.

There are already (arguably) optimized flows and design patterns for application UX. Companies have already spent years trying to build and optimize this "human programming". Dev teams have developed many DSLs to make it easier to encode business logic into their applications more quickly.

I am not saying line of business applications are good or near some optimal final form, but to call "human programming" untapped is taking a very narrow view of the definition.

How does supabase not qualify as open source?

Their stack is primarily comprised of other independent open source projects. The one component that isn't is their "realtime" server that serves updates from postgres' WAL over websockets, but that is open sourced[0] under Apache 2.0. From my understanding the primary part that has not been open sourced is their database browser / web UI. There are plenty of alternative management tools for postgres though. As you can export your database what else would you need to ensure your portability and independence?

Granted they make their docs fairly opaque for trying to self host. Presumably to encourage you to just use their hosted service. Hosting open sourced projects seems like a very ecosystem friendly way of monetizing.
