Keycloak is an identity and access management system used for authentication and login. In Craftology, it handles user sign-in through an OIDC-based flow.
kubeconfig is a Kubernetes configuration file that tells command-line tools how to connect to a cluster. In Craftology, developers need a dev-cluster kubeconfig to connect through Telepresence.
Kustomize is a Kubernetes configuration management tool that allows declarative customization of YAML manifests without modifying the originals. It supports overlays, environment-specific configurations, and patching of existing resources. Helm and Kustomize complement each other: Helm provides reusable, versioned application templates, while Kustomize allows teams to customize these templates per environment (dev, staging, production) without changing the original chart. This combination enables consistent deployments, environment-specific configurations, and reduces duplication in Kubernetes manifests.
LangGraph is a Python framework from the LangChain ecosystem for building stateful, graph-based workflows for LLM applications. It represents systems as directed graphs where nodes perform actions (LLM calls, tools, decisions) and edges control execution. Best suited for multi-agent systems, iterative reasoning pipelines, RAG workflows with conditional logic, and HITL processes. Acts as a state machine for LLM applications, designed for reasoning and agent coordination rather than data pipelines.
LDAP credentials are the username and password used to authenticate against an organization’s directory service.
term: ML/MLOps services
ML/MLOps services are backend systems related to AI generation, machine learning workflows, model execution, and operational support around those models. The frontend reaches these services through controlled backend or BFF routes.
