## What it is
A curated awesome-list of open-source cloud native tools, software, and tutorials maintained by Jimmy Song. It organizes the cloud native ecosystem into categories such as Kubernetes, service mesh, observability, GitOps, serverless, and security.

## Use cases
- find the best open-source tools for a kubernetes cluster
- discover cloud native monitoring and observability software
- learn about service mesh and gitops options
- compare api gateways and ingress controllers
- find tutorials for getting started with cloud native
- locate kubernetes operators for databases and messaging
- research serverless platforms that run on kubernetes

## When to choose
- you want a broad, curated index of the cloud native ecosystem before picking tools
- you are learning cloud native concepts and want tutorials and references
- you need to survey options across categories like networking, storage, and observability

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable tool rather than a list of links
- you need deep, up-to-date evaluations or benchmarks of each project
- you need vendor-supported documentation for a specific product

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation, container-orchestration, deployment, microservices
- domain: cloud-computing, microservices, awesome-lists, developer-tools
- platform: cloud, self-hosted
