Is there a kubernetes/knative goal. I understand there's helm target. But helm seems too bloated for me right now.

There is not one in core pants, not sure if anyone has made a 3rdparty one?

Where do i look for 3rdparty goals? Just incase i don't find one where do i start if i want to build one?

I've got very basic one here: https://tgolsson.github.io/pants-backends/k8s-readme.html. If you're familiar with bazel's

k8s_rules

it's based on my experiences with that. It's a bit unidiomatic because it uses derived targets (like

#apply

) and

run

for all, as opposed to unique goals per action. All my plugins are very dogfooding-centric so I don't have lots of features, but happy to take contributions or work to improve the feature set.

I think this is good starting point. Sure i can contribute to this. Looks like a good starting point. Whats the repo link?

This is the repo: https://github.com/tgolsson/pants-backends And the k8s backend code is here: https://github.com/tgolsson/pants-backends/tree/main/pants-plugins/k8s And here it is on PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/pants-backend-k8s/

Thanks. I just went through the repo. Is there a documentation on plugin development?

Here's some docs: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/plugins-overview. I don't think they're too detailed so I cross-reference the pants codebase a lot; as well as asking in #plugins 🙂
