Timoni

Timoni is a package manager for Kubernetes powered by CUE that provides a type-safe alternative to Helm charts. It enables software vendors to define complex application deployments packaged as Modules using CUE definitions, distributed as OCI artifacts in container registries with semantic versioning and cryptographic signing.

Timoni publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Artifacts API and Modules API. Tagged areas include Containers, Kubernetes, Package Manager, and CUE.

The Timoni catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Timoni’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, and 15 more developer resources.

Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers. This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn. If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your provider repo and we will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 90 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 10. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 90% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/timoni: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
