GravityKit
GravityKit folds every GravityView extension into one Pro plugin.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Komodor and Shuffle — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Komodor is extending its map of a cluster from native objects to the operators running on top of them.
The platform keeps widening what it can see. Kubernetes Add-ons make operator-managed workloads first-class: Komodor detects CRDs from KEDA, Strimzi, Flink, External Secrets, RabbitMQ, Cilium, and Kyverno in beta, with Gatekeeper, Vault, Calico, and Crossplane named next, and gives them health, configuration, and relationship views. Gateway API resources — GatewayClasses, Gateways, HTTPRoutes, GRPCRoutes — appear under the Network tab with the same inspection experience as Deployments. Services gained an Overview tab that leads with deployment status, pod health, and reliability signals instead of an events list that is often empty. Klaudia, the assistant, is invokable from any screen against a chosen cluster and keeps a searchable history of past investigations.
Shuffle tags builds almost daily, but the notes are empty.
Shuffle has tagged six 2.3.1 builds since November 3: release candidates 4 to 6 and three nightly builds. Only rc4 lists a change, a fix for a frontend crash; the rest link to commit comparisons. The more substantive rc1 in October handled AI agent actions in hybrid worker setups.

The through-line is coverage, then explanation. Komodor's value depends on the cluster map being complete, and the recent work fills the two biggest holes in that map — operator-managed custom resources and the Gateway API — before layering Klaudia over them for root-cause analysis. The assistant work follows the same order: first make it reachable and persistent, then let it read customer runbooks and reason over the resources the platform now understands. Argo CD and Argo Rollouts support earlier in the window is the same move applied to deployment tooling.
The named next add-ons — Gatekeeper, Vault, Calico, Crossplane — are the obvious follow-on, and the request channel for unsupported CRDs suggests the list is meant to keep growing. Expect Klaudia's analysis to start covering add-on resources now that they are modelled rather than inspected by hand.

The project is iterating toward 2.3.1 with frequent builds, and the October notes show the work is about making AI agent steps run reliably in workflows. The empty release notes make it hard to see what each build changes.
A 2.3.1 final release looks close given the run of release candidates and nightlies, though the entries do not say what it will contain beyond fixes.
