Show HN: Superkube - Rewriting Kubernetes in Rust (github.com)

9 points by debarshri ↗ HN
I have embarked on a journey of rewriting Kubernetes into a single binary in Rust, with everything embedded.

Architecturally, instead of etcd, it has options to use SQLite or PostgreSQL as a backend. I am trying to make it compatible with Kubernetes APIs, and kubectl should just work out of the box.

This is not 100% ready yet, but I just wanted to show the first look. It is almost 90% AI-generated. Claude code with Opus 4.7 is being used here.

It should just work out of the box on macOS with Docker as runtime.

Love the simplicity here: one binary, real containers, and enough Kubernetes to actually feel useful

That's interesting
