KEP of the Week
4222: CBOR Serializer
The Kubernetes API has always supported JSON, but it’s “talky” and requires a lot of CPU to serialize and deserialize large, complex objects, so a few years ago we added gRPC support. Binary serialization using gRPC requires a fraction of the CPU time, but requires code generation at build time. This left CRDs in the slow lane. Enter CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation), an IETF standard, which lets CRDs retain their flexibility while gaining 2X to 8X serialization speed.
CBOR support was proposed by Ben Luddy in 2019. It was planned as Alpha for 1.30, but is still WIP; if you use a lot of CRDs, consider helping Luddy close bugs and write docs.
