Feature Description #4077 implemented the proxy for terminating VW. Deletion of resources can take hours or even days depending on the process behind the CRs. E.g. if a database must get a full backup (as opposed to an incremental one) before being deleted and the database is quite large the CR can be kept in deletion for hours on end. An http.Transport is (iirc) quite heavy, so re-creating transports for every request can be very resource intensive. See: #4077 (comment) Also check if this needs to be implemented in the initializing VW. Proposed Solution Use shardlookup.TTLCache to a) synchronize parallel requests to create the same transport and b) cache the transport. When the workspace moves from terminating to deletion the transport can be evicted from the cache. Alternative Solutions No response Want to contribute? I would like to work on this issue.

Problem Getting started with kcp for demos, feature development, or showcasing functionality requires significant manual setup. There's no fast path from zero to a working kcp environment with APIs, workspaces, and sample bindings. This is a friction point for: Contributors developing a new feature who need a fresh environment quickly Maintainers preparing conference demos or showcases Users evaluating kcp and wanting to see it in action without deep expertise Proposed Solution A dedicated quickstart CLI plugin (or kcp quickstart / kcp demo subcommand) that bootstraps a skeleton kcp environment in a few commands. What it should do # One-shot: spin up local kcp + bootstrap skeleton kcp quickstart # Or with a named scenario kcp quickstart --scenario api-provider # APIExport + sample CRD + workspace kcp quickstart --scenario multi-tenant # multiple workspaces, bindings, RBAC kcp quickstart --scenario gitops # kcp + flux/argocd integration skeleton The bootstrap should: Sta
Feature Description Issue #3342 asks for changelogs for cli tools. Since #3379 PRs going into cli tools are tagged with area/cli. Proposed Solution Verify that since the move to monorepo PRs are still correctly tagged Check if we can produce a changelog just for cli tools without major maintenance Alternative Solutions No response Want to contribute?

Feature Description In #3898 we started stripping the DWARF data from release docker images. A common practice is to release the DWARF data as an artifact so users that have a need for them can still use them. Proposed Solution We have two release "binaries" - the binary built by goreleaser (which should automatically strip DWARF data) and the docker image. Since the same Go version and dependencies are used for both builds it could be enough to modify goreleaser to publish the DWARF data as a separate artifact - however that has to be tested.
