OpenEverest

<p>OpenEverest is an open-source cloud-native database platform that helps developers deploy and manage PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and other databases on Kubernetes. In V2 it uses a plugin architecture where database providers define their UI through declarative YAML schemas (UISchema in Provider CRD). Currently, plugin developers have no integrated tool for developing and testing these schemas — the only way to see the rendered result is to deploy a full Provider CRD into a running Kubernetes cluster, making the development cycle slow and error-prone. This project aims to build a Plugin Developer Playground — a page inside OpenEverest where plugin developers can write UISchema YAML, see the rendered form in real time, validate the schema structure, inspect the post-processed API payload, and save/share schemas, all without deploying to a cluster. The mentee must solve the CSP compatibility problem by either choosing a CSP-compliant code editor or proposing an isolation architecture (e.g., sandboxed iframe) that keeps the main application's strict security posture intact.</p><p><br></p><p>Expected Outcome:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Split-pane YAML editor with syntax highlighting and live form preview using the existing `UIGenerator` component</li><li>Real-time schema validation: YAML parsing errors and structural validation against the `TopologyUISchemas` type, with inline error markers in the editor</li><li>Live form rendering with stepper navigation through schema sections and topology switching</li><li>Dynamic field support: existing API provider fields load real data from the running OpenEverest instance; new/unknown provider types can be mocked</li><li>Output panel displaying the JSON payload after form data post-processing</li><li>CSP-compliant solution</li><li>Unit tests for core logic (schema validation, persistence, mock data injection) and component tests for key panels</li><li>Plugin developer guide for using the playground and the UISchema format</li></ul>

<p>OpenEverest is an open-source cloud-native database platform that helps developers deploy and manage PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and other databases on Kubernetes. Currently, `everestctl` serves primarily as an installation tool for deploying and deleting OpenEverest itself. However, users increasingly need a powerful command-line interface to manage their databases, clusters, and integrations directly from the terminal. This project aims to transform `everestctl` from a basic deployment tool into a comprehensive CLI for managing OpenEverest resources. The mentee will design and implement a modern, user-friendly CLI experience that allows users to provision databases, manage Kubernetes clusters, interact with OpenEverest plugins, and automate database operations — all without leaving their terminal. The project will involve working with Go, Kubernetes APIs, OpenEverest's plugin architecture, and modern CLI frameworks like Cobra.</p><p><br></p><p>Expected Outcome:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Core database management commands: `everestctl db list`, `create`, `delete`, `get`, `logs` for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB</li><li>Cluster management: `everestctl cluster list`, `register`, `status` for managing Kubernetes clusters</li><li>Plugin integration: `everestctl plugin list`, `install`, `configure` for OpenEverest plugins</li><li>Shell completion scripts (bash, zsh, fish)</li><li>Unit and integration tests with &gt;80% coverage</li><li>Comprehensive documentation with usage examples</li></ul>
