#DAY1: The story of unemployment peak for a software engineer

An unemployed software engineer has begun building Wardu, a Kubernetes-native scheduler that allows running workers as containers in any language without requiring SDKs. The project accepts JSON payloads via HTTP or gRPC and returns results, supporting Python for ML tasks, Go for core services, and Node.js for notifications. The developer has completed the project structure, API Gateway, Docker configuration, and Kubernetes manifests, with plans to use Tilt for local testing.

I've been thinking what can I actually build that I ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ท๐—ผ๐˜† ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด?

I love Go. I love microservices. I really need a project to hone my skills and grow since I am unemployed and it is not easy to get a job that I would love and level up.

I came up with a project โ€“ Wardu โ€“ Kubernetes native scheduler which allows running workers as containers in any language you like.

Python for ML tasks, Go for core services, Node.js for notifications. But all existing schedulers require using their SDKs which makes you write Python/Go workers in second class.

Today I have prepared project structure, API Gateway, Docker configuration, Kubernetes manifests and started working on Tilt setup to test locally.

Will this project be useful to anyone? Honestly I don't know yet.
