Prerequisite knowledge

  • Familiarity with containers, Kubernetes, and package management

What you'll learn

  • Explore challenges Helm faced and some solutions

Description

Package managers are hard. Helm learned a lot of lessons from others’ mistakes but also repeated some. For example, having a single index file per repository is not scalable. It’s the same mistake that NPM made, and it causes slower CI, high memory consumption, slower searches, and more. Another example is not having private enterprise repositories in mind, leaving out authorization and authentication features.

Baruch Sadogursky explores several solutions to those problems, covering their strengths and their weaknesses.
