Apache Dubbo for Kubernetes is a service mesh control plane that extends Apache Dubbo's capabilities to Kubernetes-native environments. It provides an xDS-based control plane (dubbod) for dynamic configuration of gRPC proxies, sidecar injection via a mutating webhook and CNI plugin, mTLS with a built-in certificate authority, and integration with the Kubernetes Gateway API for traffic management. The system also includes a KEDA-based activation mechanism for scale-to-zero workloads, multi-cluster support, and an operator for lifecycle management. The codebase is heavily inspired by Istio, with many packages adapted from that project, and includes a reactive collections framework (krt) for building incremental state from Kubernetes resources. It is in an active development phase with some incomplete features and generated code dependencies.
