I think operators are great and true to the k8s spirit. You describe your desired state (e.g. a postgres database) according to a CRD. And the operator will make your yaml definition become reality. I think the declarative approach is a big improvement over the imperative step-by-step setup. I rather like to describe how I would like things to be, instead of having to create the desired state myself.

May be. But operators are a relative pain to develop. I prefer the HCL approach. You can have modules instead of operators, and while HCL overall might be painful, it's less painful, IMO, than constantly changing operators. My team spends a significant amount of time chasing deprecations of operators and associated helm charts.

To be clear: I like operators! I was just responding to the parent post; JSON/YAML aren’t the only ways to express things in the Kubeverse.
