OpenChoreo Kubernetes developer platform: the openchoreo/openchoreo repository describes itself as « a complete, open-source developer platform for Kubernetes ». It targets teams that build an internal developer platform (IDP) by gluing together a portal, CI, GitOps and observability. The project is released under the Apache 2.0 licence and, according to its README, belongs to the CNCF Sandbox.

The README states that WSO2 developed OpenChoreo from its experience with the Choreo SaaS platform, and that it is a complete rewrite, not a fork. For an SRE, the appeal comes down to one idea: logs, metrics and traces are surfaced « through the abstractions your developers already understand » (component, project, environment). What does the repository contain, how can it be tried, and what can be monitored?
