Why KubeBuddy Radar?
We complement automated dependency tools—not replace them
Not Another Bot
Renovate Bot and Dependabot automate pull requests for dependency updates. They're essential for keeping code current. KubeBuddy Radar gives you context before those PRs arrive: Is this a security fix? Does it break the API? Can it wait until next sprint?
Run Radar alongside your automation. Renovate handles the PRs, Radar gives you the intelligence to prioritize which ones matter.

Quick answers to common questions about tracking releases
I built KubeBuddy Radar because I was struggling to keep up with the releases running across customer clusters. Now it keeps everything in one place and sends easy-to-read updates that call out breaking changes and security fixes, so I can act fast without living in release notes.
Platform engineers, SREs, and DevOps teams who maintain multiple clusters and tools. If you are responsible for upgrades, Radar is built for you.
We track over 150 projects including all CNCF graduated, incubating, and sandbox releases such as Kubernetes, Prometheus, Helm, ArgoCD, Cilium, and Istio plus essential DevOps tooling across observability, networking, and security. Check the projects page to see everything currently tracked.
Yes. Webhook URLs and API keys are encrypted at rest in the database using AES-256. We only decrypt them when actually sending notifications or handling API requests, and we use prepared statements everywhere to prevent SQL injection.
Pick your cadence per project: every release, daily digest, or weekly summary. By default you only get notified about stable releases (no pre-releases cluttering your inbox). Enable betas per subscription if you want to track them.
Releases are checked frequently throughout the day with a daily sweep to catch anything that slipped through. The full catalog syncs once per week to pick up new repos and metadata changes.
