About:
Kubespy is a command-line tool that provides real-time visibility into Kubernetes resources as they transition between states. It allows developers and operators to watch resources like Deployments, Services, and Pods, showing live updates on status changes. This is particularly valuable for debugging deployments and understanding the inner workings of Kubernetes controllers.

Key Features:

Real-time observation of Kubernetes resource state changes
Tracks transitions like Pending -> Running -> Terminated
Supports watching specific resources or all resources in a namespace
Simple CLI interface for immediate debugging

Use Cases:

Debugging and understanding why a Kubernetes deployment is stuck
Monitoring the real-time progression of a rolling update or pod lifecycle
Educational tool for learning how Kubernetes controllers manage state

Alternatives:

kubectl get --watch – Basic built-in watch functionality, but Kubespy provides more detailed state transition messages and context.
k9s – Full terminal UI dashboard, while Kubespy is a focused, lightweight CLI tool for specific state transition tracking.
