Add examples/demo: one of every CRD, plus a script to fire alerts at it
A self-contained demo kit: a TerdutServer against a throwaway, bare
Postgres (bring-your-own DSN -- simplest path to stand up from nothing,
ROADMAP.md Stage 1's own note), two TerdutTeams, and each team's own
TerdutEscalationRule/TerdutDeadmanSwitch/TerdutAlertSource, so every CRD
this operator manages is exercised together rather than in isolation the
way config/samples' one-of-each already does.

fire-alerts.sh sends terdut-server's own amPayload/amAlert shape (read
from internal/api/alertmanager.go in that repo, not guessed from its
docs) at whichever TerdutAlertSource's generated webhook Secret it reads
the key out of -- high-cpu/disk-full/pod-crash scenarios to open and
resolve incidents, and a heartbeat scenario matching each team's dead
man's switch matcher, so stopping it demonstrates the switch noticing
silence on its own.

Verified server-side (kubectl apply --dry-run=server -k examples/demo)
against this operator's own dev cluster, which already has these CRDs
installed: every object validates. The one warning that cluster's
"restricted" PodSecurity raises (postgres:17-alpine's entrypoint needs to
start as root before it drops privileges itself) is noted inline in
00-postgres.yaml rather than worked around -- not a real production
pattern, and this Postgres exists only to be thrown away with the rest of
the demo namespace.

README.md walks through: applying, watching status, why a few early
CrashLoopBackOff restarts on terdut-demo itself are expected (this
operator's Deployment template has no wait-for-postgres init container
yet, unlike charts/terdut-server's chart as of v0.33.2), reaching the web
UI (port-forward -- spec.networking.hostname is accepted but nothing
creates an HTTPRoute for it yet), turning on open signup with the
operator's own generated admin token since the bootstrap-created account
has no password, firing alerts, and tearing down.

Terdut operator

Aims to expose most config as CRD's, so end users can self-service over gitops.

See DESIGN.md for the full design: CRD catalog and specs, reconciliation semantics, bootstrap/auth, Postgres integration, RBAC, and the relationship to charts/terdut-server. This README stays a short pitch; the open questions it used to carry are now resolved decisions there (§2).

CRD's

terdutServers

Creates a server — Deployment, Service, database wiring, bootstrap, operator credentials, and allowedTeams consent for cross-namespace teams. See DESIGN.md §4.1, §4.6.

terdutTeams

  • team name
  • oidc groups
  • serverRef — explicit reference to its TerdutServer, may be in a different namespace (one team owns the server, others self-service a team against it), gated by that TerdutServer's own allowedTeams field (DESIGN.md §2, §4.1, §4.2, §4.6)

terdutEscalationrules

  • rule
  • teamRef — explicit reference to its TerdutTeam (DESIGN.md §2, §4.3)

terdutDeadmansswitches

  • rule
  • teamRef (DESIGN.md §4.4)

terdutAlertSources

  • teamRef (DESIGN.md §4.5)
  • URL/key are generated by the server at creation and surfaced only via a generated Secret, never set explicitly

Demo

examples/demo wires one of every CRD above together — two teams, each with an escalation rule, a dead man's switch and an alert source — plus a script that fires synthetic Alertmanager webhooks at it, so you can watch real incidents open, escalate and resolve without a real Alertmanager anywhere in the picture.
