🍨 Crossplane Troubleshooting Tool by Komodor
Komoplane is a local GUI for visualizing Crossplane resources in a Kubernetes cluster — providers, compositions, XRDs, claims, and managed resources. It runs as a Go binary with an embedded React frontend and connects to your cluster via kubeconfig. If you work with Crossplane daily and have ever tried to debug a broken composition by reading kubectl output, this is directly useful.
The relation graph view (ReactFlow-based) gives you a visual map of how claims, composites, and managed resources connect — which is genuinely hard to reconstruct from raw kubectl. Ships as a single binary or Helm chart with no external dependencies; the Go backend embeds the frontend at build time via fs.go. The example YAML files and workshop directory are good for getting a test environment stood up quickly. Active enough: last push was June 2026, CI publishes chart releases automatically.
386 stars for a tool from an established company (Komodor) suggests it hasn't broken out of a niche audience — probably because most Crossplane shops already pay for the full Komodor platform. No read/write capability: you can look at resources but you can't edit, retry, or delete anything from the UI, which limits its usefulness when you actually need to fix something. The backend is purely a thin proxy over the Kubernetes API with no caching, so it will be slow against clusters with many managed resources. TypeScript is listed as the primary language in GitHub but the backend is Go — minor misrepresentation that trips you up when you try to contribute.
