Provide split between specification and implementation on Kubernetes #14

Closed tomkerkhove closed 2 years ago

tomkerkhove commented 2 years ago

It would be nice to have a split between the specification and an implementation on Kubernetes.

This would allow 3rd party feature management services such as LaunchDarkly and others to be conformant to the specification.

This would be similar to how CloudEvents has approached it.

Hi @tomkerkhove, thanks for the suggestion. I completely agree! The Kubernetes implementation will be a spec compliant reference implementation. However, the spec itself will not have a dependency on Kubernetes and will allow existing vendors to also becoming spec compliant if they choose.

Great to hear! I presume https://github.com/open-feature/spec#architecture will be moved to a dedicated repo then?

Ah, good point. Yes, it should be moved. I'll take care of that tomorrow.
