DEPTH: LEVEL 1

The Deep Levels

Welcome to the Mad Experiments. Entry is at your own peril.

UNSTABLE CODE AHEAD - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Here lies the code that didn't make it to the surface. Experimental operators, unstable IoT protocols, and home-brewed logic. Use at your own risk—there are no safety rails down here.

These are the projects we tinker with in the dark. Some will ascend to production. Most will remain in the depths, useful only to those brave enough to venture down.

K8s Chaos Operator

A Kubernetes operator that introduces controlled, predictable chaos into your cluster. It is the automated Dungeon Master, simulating network collapse, pod banishment, and resource starvation. Test your cluster's sanity before the real threat arrives.

ACTIVE

Temporal Dungeon Master

A Temporal.io workflow framework for building complex, long-running game logic. The core of an eternal simulation, managing quest persistence and event chains that endure server restarts. Your NPCs will remember every slight.

UNSTABLE

MQTT Hivemind

A distributed MQTT broker mesh utilizing self-organizing protocols to achieve optimal message routing. It is a decentralized consciousness that self-heals and evolves. Your IoT fleet is becoming sentient.

LLM Spellcaster

Natural Language to Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Synthesis. Describe your desired architecture in Common Tongue; receive executable Terraform. Warning: It currently fabricates security groups in 40% of syntheses. The Spellcaster is powerful, but insane.

Container Necromancy

Automatic resurrection of failed containers with Crypt-Wound state preservation. The living dead of the cluster. Turns out persistent zombie containers are a profound operational liability. Kept solely for the study of failure.

GitOps Grimoire

A declarative spellbook for infrastructure. Define your entire stack in a single YAML tome. Argo CD + Crossplane + custom controllers. The ultimate source of truth.

We're always looking for fellow explorers. If you've got an experiment that's too dangerous for production but too interesting to abandon, we want to see it.
