Implemented Crossplane deployment packaging with YAML generation and function-template support, enabling repeatable, deployable configurations. Introduced PostgreSQL CRDs (clusters, backups, and connection poolers) with a deployment script to apply resources, enhancing operator-driven data services. Integrated Kyverno policies for cluster security/governance and wired in Kueue for improved workload management, boosting compliance and resource efficiency. Addressed critical caster tooling issues: fixed incorrect handling of 'all' selections and restructured outputs into packages with namespace manifest support. Advanced containerization and deployment tooling, including Docker integration, server-side apply, and stack-based deployment workflows, plus AMD metrics exporter integration. Documentation and onboarding updates improved developer experience and adoption. Codebase clarity improved with renaming 'packages' to 'stacks'.
