What is Komodor?

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.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet's AI builder goes model-agnostic with a multi-model catalog and MCP server baked into the enterprise image.

ToolJet has shifted its core narrative from low-code app builder to AI-powered app builder. In the past two weeks alone: MCP server packaging bundled into the EE production image, a multi-model build system with a visual model picker and effort variants, and AI build notifications wired into the canvas. The beta branch (v3.21.x) is a steady feed of component-level improvements while the LTS branch (v3.20.x) is now absorbing the AI infrastructure.

Komodor is extending its map of a cluster from native objects to the operators running on top of them.

◆ Current state

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.

◆ Where it's heading

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.

◆ Prediction

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.

7.5

ToolJet's AI builder goes model-agnostic with a multi-model catalog and MCP server baked into the enterprise image.

◆ Current state

ToolJet has shifted its core narrative from low-code app builder to AI-powered app builder. In the past two weeks alone: MCP server packaging bundled into the EE production image, a multi-model build system with a visual model picker and effort variants, and AI build notifications wired into the canvas. The beta branch (v3.21.x) is a steady feed of component-level improvements while the LTS branch (v3.20.x) is now absorbing the AI infrastructure.

◆ Where it's heading

ToolJet is building the infrastructure to make its AI builder run any model from any provider, not just OpenAI. The model catalog with effort variants (presumably mapping to cost/speed tradeoffs) and the bundled MCP server position ToolJet as a platform that AI agents can drive — not just a tool humans use to build apps. The Confluence marketplace integration points to continued enterprise integrations.

◆ Prediction

The MCP server now in the EE image will likely get documented API coverage in the next 2–3 releases, making ToolJet a programmable target for external AI agents. A new Basic plan suggests pricing restructuring; look for the AI builder features to be tiered behind higher plans.
