| Kubernetes API Service | Currently when an app is installed on the cluster, our AppView gets the data about the related k8s resources from the k8s api server. We want to replace that with an API call which allows getting the (relevant) resources for a particular installed package (only). | Q4 - 2021 |
| flux plugin | Plugin-based support for different packaging systems, moving across our existing Helm support as well as adding fluxv2 support. | Q4 - 2021 |
| kapp-controller plugin | Plugin-based support for different packaging systems, moving across our existing Helm support as well as adding Carvel packages support. | Q4 - 2021 |
| Package repository API | Define a package repositories API with similar core interface to packages API. | Q4 - 2021 |
| Improve CI/CD and Release process | Explore a replacement for CircleCI (Github actions or any other alternative); Upgrade tests; | Q4 -2021 |
| Update documentation | Reorganizing and updating Kubeapps docs (including new architecture and plugins); New Kubeapps website | Ongoing |
