A Java client library providing access to the full Kubernetes and OpenShift REST APIs via a fluent DSL. It includes extensions for Knative, Tekton, and other ecosystems, plus a mock server for testing Kubernetes interactions.

Use cases

• manage kubernetes resources from java
• write java code to deploy pods and services on kubernetes
• interact with openshift api from a jvm application
• unit test kubernetes controllers with a mock server
• build a kubernetes operator in java
• watch and list kubernetes resources programmatically

When to choose

• you need a pure-Java alternative to the official Kubernetes Java client with a fluent DSL
• you want built-in mocking for testing Kubernetes logic without a cluster
• you work with OpenShift or extensions like Knative and Tekton from the JVM

When to avoid

• you are not on the JVM and need a client in another language
• you only need simple kubectl-style scripting where the CLI suffices
