I’m excited to introduce Oomlet — a new open-source project I’ve been building to bring first-class observability and testability to modern infrastructure stacks.

🥚 What is Oomlet?

Oomlet is a lightweight, Kubernetes-native service toolkit that makes it easier for me — and hopefully you — to test, validate, and monitor cloud-native infrastructure. Whether you’re deploying microservices or managing a complex CI/CD pipeline, Oomlet helps identify issues faster and improve confidence in production.

I built Oomlet with quality engineering in mind. It offers:

  • ✅ Simple health and ping endpoints for quick validation
  • 📊 Prometheus and OTEL integrations out of the box
  • 🔍 Flexible Helm charts for fast deployment and customization
  • 🧪 100% test coverage on all controller logic

🚧 Why I Built It

In large, distributed systems, quality is often treated as an afterthought. Oomlet flips that on its head. By integrating test hooks, observability probes, and validation endpoints from day one, my goal is to help teams shift quality left — without slowing down velocity.

Whether you’re a platform engineer, QA lead, or hobbyist like me deploying side projects, Oomlet provides a clean foundation for infrastructure-level validation that scales with your needs.

📦 How to Get Started

You can also pull the Docker image directly:

docker pull ghcr.io/trcjr/oomlet
docker run ghcr.io/trcjr/oomlet

The source code is available on GitHub and contributions are welcome!

🔮 What’s Next

I’m actively working on:

  • Load generation endpoints

Future planned enhancements:

  • Slack and Webhook alerting integrations
  • Optional SSR support for status dashboards
