The Kubernetes controller-runtime Project is a set of go libraries for building Controllers. It is leveraged by Kubebuilder and Operator SDK. Both are a great place to start for new projects. See Kubebuilder's Quick Start to see how it can be used.

Documentation:

• Package overview
• Basic controller using builder
• Creating a manager
• Creating a controller
• Examples
• Designs

The full documentation can be found at VERSIONING.md, but TL;DR:

Users:

• We follow Semantic Versioning (semver)
• Use releases with your dependency management to ensure that you get compatible code
• The master branch contains all the latest code, some of which may break compatibility (so "normal" go get is not recommended)

Contributors:

• All code PR must be labeled with 🐛 (patch fixes), ✨ (backwards-compatible features), or ⚠️ (breaking changes)
• Breaking changes will find their way into the next major release, other changes will go into an semi-immediate patch or minor release
• For a quick PR template suggesting the right information, use one of these PR templates:
  • Breaking Changes/Features
  • Backwards-Compatible Features
  • Bug fixes
  • Documentation Changes
  • Test/Build/Other Changes
