Show HN: Relativistic – Open Data Platform Using Terraform and Kubernetes

I started a data consultancy 2.5 years ago, and set up a lot of vendors and tools for my clients over time.

I found a recurring theme: the best tools for them were often open source, but the overhead of deploying them was too high. Then 2 years down the road, they were paying 6 figures for vendors.

Kubernetes Helm definitions have become a defacto standard for these projects to release "production" quality configurations.

Relativistic pulls these together through a terraform interface with sensible defaults to make it easy to set up a rich set of tools both locally and in production.

This is still early on, and a lot of work needs to be done for a production grade 1.0.0 release. Especially around state management. What exists now is already helping my clients today, and is what I use for my own projects.

I'd love any feedback you have!
