Congratulations on shipping! I like how opinionated Kardinal is, which means it should work nicely for anyone who shares the same kind of infras vision as you.

It's also such an interesting moment for you folks to show up on HN, I just shipped the first preview version of my Kubernetes operator(https://github.com/pier-oliviert/sequencer) that manages ephemeral environments. I can see some things that are similar with both our options as well as some things that are quite different.

Maybe if I had one question is: What made you go for Istio as the main network mesh?

Good luck with the launch!

Nice work on Sequencer! I really liked the Workspace CRD.

Nothing too specific on choosing Istio, but it seemed like a popular and battle-tested option to start the implementation with. Kardinal is a fairly young project (about 2 months old), and we expect it to adopt more "service mesh backends" in the future.
