Maybe this will finally break me of my habit of using helm charts, period.

I’ve never used Helm charts. I learned K8S in a shop in which kustomize is the standard and helm is a permitted exception to the standard, but I just never felt any reason to learn helm. Am I missing out?

Sometimes the limitations of kustomize annoy me, but we find ways to live with them

The main advantage of helm in my experience is:

1. having the ability to create a release artefact helm chart for a version, and store that artefact easily in OCI repositories. 2. being able to uninstall and install a chart and not have to worry about extra state. Generally in Kustomize people just keep applying the yaml and you end up in a state where there’s more deployed than there is in the kustomize config
