A quick announcement about Kustomize versus Helm and why we’ve sunsetted Kustomize as part of Airbyte: In the process of planning our development cycle, we realized that we couldn’t support both helm and kustomize at the same time and provide the quality of experience that we wanted to for our users. We chose Helm over Kustomize because most of our users use it and it has much more community mindshare. We had planned to give a longer sunset period for Kustomize, but at the same time we were planning and executing our platform code migration, and we realized that to move kustomize as part of this migration was going to be a big lift for something we were going to sunset no matter what. So we settled for this middle ground where we sunset it with very little warning but made it possible for existing users to keep using it. This particular decision was driven by a confluence of events that we don’t anticipate happening again, and we will endeavour to give more warning and a longer sunset process in the future. Thank you for your time and attention.

Thank you! Do you know when the new version of the chart is going to be released?

We’re actively working on getting a good Helm chart published; our code freeze was extended by one day for various reasons, so hopefully we’ll have something later this week.

Thank you for all details @Jerri Comeau (Airbyte) ! I’ve been a user of airbyte’s helm chart since the first versions, and it is good to hear that a more stable deployment of the charts is coming!

As a follow up here: we pushed a bug fix for Helm Charts along with v.41 and it’s working correctly now!

Can we already enjoy of this bug fix or do we need to wait for new releases ? @Jerri Comeau (Airbyte)
