I tried it out, and the UI/UX is pretty good, but it feels like there aren't many features yet. I couldn't find some "AI" features. What's the plan for this aspect going forward?

It’s really cool. Have it integrated with other projects in the landscape?
What should I do if I want to develop a customized Kusion module?
It's really cool! I hope to see some products come out soon.
I have to say, it really impressive!!!
Thanks for sharing, it seems like there are a lot of projects within the organization. I'm wondering, how many people are dedicated to operations? And how many are focused on research and development?
How does this differ from OAM?
We are the platform team at Ant Group. This project is built upon our years of cloud-native practices at a massive scale. While we have an internal version developed over the years, the open-source project itself is in its early stages, and we welcome you to give it a try!
Kusion is a stack to build an IDP, not a resource provisioning tool. If you're already using Terraform internally, Kusion can integrate with it and provide a more efficient and flexible workflow.
Creating an abstract model that functions seamlessly across various cloud providers is undoubtedly challenging, and we are working on defining a guideline about how to abstract these resources with our project Kusion. We welcome any suggestions or ideas, so please feel free to reach out to us.
Thank you very much for your feedback! Let me explain these questions.
1. Secret management: We did have a secret as code solution in a previous version, but we removed it because we upgraded our App model and the old user guide is not appropriate. We will refresh it later. The idea behind the guide is still the same. If you are interested in the older version, you can check out this link. (https://github.com/KusionStack/kusionstack.io/blob/b0fb8296d...)
2. Another declarative closed loop: Tools like Pulumi and Terraform mainly focus on provisioning resources but Kusion focuses on the software development life cycle(SDLC) which contains other components like rollouts, policies, monitoring, etc. In fact, Kusion is utilizing Terraform to manage cloud resources (https://kusionstack.io/docs/user_docs/concepts/kusion#runtim...). In other words, what Kusion wants is to build an open-source developer platform that can integrate your existing infrastructures to boost the App Dev's efficiency, not another wheel.
Kusion is an open-source project that is still in its early stages, and we are actively working on enriching our ecosystem. We are also looking for friends and partners to build this project together. Feel free to contact me and all feedback is welcomed and appreciated :)
