Summary

Komodor is a unique Kubernetes troubleshooting tool designed specifically for developers, providing a smart dashboard that integrates with various tools to offer a comprehensive view of cluster changes and events. Unlike traditional metric solutions aimed at operators, Komodor focuses on developer-relevant insights, capturing all types of changes in a Kubernetes cluster, including deployments, feature flags, and ad-hoc commands, through an event timeline. By offering real-time updates via a hybrid cloud-managed web UI, Komodor enables users to install an agent in their cluster for secure, outgoing-only communication. It supports multiple Kubernetes components and integrates with external providers to present a unified event timeline, helping identify issues across related services. Komodor also offers annotation capabilities for enhanced context, linking infrastructure changes with code changes and providing a cohesive view of service dependencies, ultimately reducing incident response times by facilitating better collaboration between developers and operators.
