Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An MIT-licensed Kubernetes operator provisions Magnolia author and public instances, dedicated PostgreSQL clusters, backups, and Gateway API routing from a single custom resource.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The operator turns one Site custom resource into a Magnolia author instance, a configurable number of public instances, persistent storage, PostgreSQL clusters, Services, HTTPRoutes, and health checks. Its installation example targets Kubernetes 1.27+ and CloudNativePG, while the documented backup path uses WAL archiving plus scheduled base backups with restore to timestamps, LSNs, transactions, or named restore points. The page says the project was renamed from Magnolia Operator in 2026 and uses the grandiflor.com API group.
