Hatchet tenants as Kubernetes resources
We run one self-hosted Hatchet for every project's background work. Onboarding a project still meant dashboard clicks and a copied token, so we built a Kubernetes controller that turns a tenant into a resource in Git.
Replacing release-please: why we built tallyrelease after three years of release PRs
After three years of release-please across our whole fleet of repositories, we built tallyrelease: one dependency graph for builds and releases, build-only units, and prereleases without committed state.
