Self-hosted software built with K8S

80 projects in the catalogue run on K8S. Ordered by health score.

Runtime matters when you are consolidating: services sharing a runtime are usually easier to host on one machine. As a rough guide, K8S services here start around 2 GB of RAM each — an estimate from the runtime, not a benchmark.
