SaaS with Kubernetes Operators and Garbage Collection
SaaS with Kubernetes Operators and Garbage Collection

A single Kubernetes CRD for every service request turns small changes into full-platform reconciliations.

Alexander Held, former platform engineer at Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation, describes a production refactor from a 2,000-line CRD to purpose-built resources and controllers. He shows how teams can model business workflows as Kubernetes APIs and then use owner references, finalizers, and events to keep platform operations predictable.

You will learn:

  • Why monolithic CRDs create performance and troubleshooting problems
  • How controllers turn database provisioning and backups into reconciliation loops
  • How finalizers clean up external resources such as S3 backups
  • Why Kubernetes events make platform workflows easier to debug
