Kubernetes Operators can be daunting, but they don’t have to be. In this talk, you'll learn how to build a production-ready operator using
controller-runtime, with real-world lessons from maintaining Kyma at SAP. We'll cover key concepts like reconciliation, finalizers, and observability—giving you a clear path from first lines of code to a resilient operator in production.Mohammed Mesaoudi
