This week I had the opportunity to start writing a new Kubernetes Controller, at Coralogix most of the services are Rust based. So I decided to give a try to rust and kube-rs, since I’m not a rustician, that would be a great opportunity to learning

Writing a simple controller took me some time to be honest. Even with Cursor auto completion it wasn’t that easy, docs are not clear about how kube-rs works

Rust isn't very expressive and you need to type a lot more than golang. Error handling was killing me haha

I won’t lie for a moment o was thinking about about and just go with old and good golang + kubebuilder

how’d it go

So far it's going ok, I'm missing some shortcuts that kubebuilder offers, like the scaffolding using kubebuilder cli and also the whole testing structure we have available.
