What do you want to happen?

Start tracking external plugins that integrate with Kubebuilder, so the community can discover and use them.

This issue will act as a tracker. Later, we can link it from the docs under a new “External Plugins” or “Ecosystem” section.

Note: We should create a doc section to promote external plugins built on top of Kubebuilder.


Why?

Many developers are using Kubebuilder as a library to build plugins — often for other languages or scaffolding styles.

Tracking them helps:

  • Give visibility to community projects
  • Help users find compatible tools
  • Encourage collaboration
  • Support future doc updates

Example Plugin

Plugin for scaffolding Rust-based Kubernetes operators
