Community-Maintained Client Libraries

Kubernetes has an active and collaborative open source community, which has also increased its popularity. There are around 20 community-maintained client libraries that are listed in the Kubernetes documentation, which cover the following languages:

• Clojure
• Go
• Java
• Lisp
• Node.js
• Perl
• PHP
• Python
• Ruby
• Scala
• dotNet
• Elixir

There are some critical points to consider before using a community-maintained client library:

• Aim of the library: It is crucial to consider the aim of the development team and library. Although it seems not directly related to the software itself, it affects how the client library is developed. For instance, some libraries focus on simplicity and compromise on capability coverage. If the vision of your application and the client library don't match, it would be difficult to maintain the application in the long run.
