Description
Radar brings your Kubernetes workflows into one fast, open-source UI: real-time topology, resources, events, Helm, GitOps, live traffic flows, security & best-practice checks, image filesystem inspection, and MCP for AI agents. Run it locally as a single binary or self-host it in-cluster with RBAC + OIDC — no account, agents, or cloud required.

Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron or web UI with an embedded MCP server and basic K8s API queries can be vibe-coded, features like real-time topology rendering, live traffic flows, container filesystem inspection, and cluster audit checks require deep Kubernetes internals and systems programming.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a Go backend communicating via client-go and custom Kubernetes controllers/informers to maintain in-memory resource topologies, alongside eBPF agents for real-time live traffic flow observation. Container filesystem inspection requires direct CRI/containerd interaction or ephemeral debug containers. A frontend built in React/TypeScript with ELK.js or WebGL renders high-density live topology graphs updated via WebSockets or SSE.
