If you have written an X-Definition, you have written CUE. Components, traits, policies, and workflow steps all carry their logic as a CUE template, and that template is where your platform's real behaviour lives. It is what the KubeVela controller evaluates every time an Application renders. Change a definition and you change how every app on the platform gets delivered.

Which makes the authoring experience matter more than it first appears. A definition is some of the most consequential code a platform team writes, and it is written in a language most platform teams touch nowhere else. We felt that every time we added one, and eventually went looking for a different way to write them.

As of v1.11.0, KubeVela ships one. Defkit is a Go SDK for authoring X-Definitions: you write Go, and it compiles to CUE.

Hello, I am Junyu Liu (GitHub: iyear), currently a sophomore majoring in software engineering. In this blog post, I will share my experiences as a Linux Foundation Mentorship mentee: from applying for the project to becoming part of the community.

In the spring of 2023, I was accepted as a CNCF student under the KubeVela project through LFX Mentorship. In this project, I am responsible for developing a CUE code and documentation generator based on Golang from scratch, laying the foundation for the infrastructure part of KubeVela's future extensibility.
