Updates, deep dives, and Kubernetes insights from the Clusterfudge team.
Most teams know they should scan their pods for security misconfigurations. Most teams don't. We built a scanner directly into the desktop client — here's what it checks, why client-side scanning fills a gap that admission controllers miss, and how it stays fast by running entirely locally.
We're excited to announce Clusterfudge — a fast, keyboard-first Kubernetes desktop client built with Go and React. After months of development, we're releasing our first public version with support for 27+ resource types, AI-powered debugging, integrated Helm management, and a security scanner.
Electron powers many popular desktop apps, but comes with a 150 MB overhead and significant memory consumption. We chose Wails to build Clusterfudge — here's how we got a native experience at 1/10th the size with the same Go backend powering our Kubernetes API interactions.
Clusterfudge can launch Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or ChatGPT Codex with full pod context in one click. Here's how we built the context gathering system, why we chose local CLI tools over API calls, and how we handle sensitive data redaction.
