The README frames naml as both a Go library and a CLI for developing and deploying Kubernetes applications, replacing YAML with raw Go so users can rely on Go syntax highlighting, cross-compiling, code generation, documentation, tests, and the Kubernetes client libraries. The project moved quickly toward a 1.0 release in 2021. GitHub releases show v0.3.0 as the YAML release on 2021-08-20, v0.4.0 as a deployable release candidate on 2021-11-20, v1.0.0 on 2021-11-21, and v1.0.3 on 2021-11-24. ### Adoption history naml had attention in the Kubernetes developer niche but not broad package-manager usage. Repository metadata consulted on 2026-07-01 showed 1,261 GitHub stars and 36 forks, while Homebrew listed 74 installs over the prior 365 days. Its significance is tied to a recurring Kubernetes argument: whether YAML should be generated, templated, or replaced by typed code. naml chose the typed-code side, using existing Kubernetes Go APIs rather than inventing another runtime templating system. ### How it is used The README's main workflow is `cat deploy.yaml | naml codify > main.go`, then `naml build -o app`, then running the generated application to emit YAML, install, or uninstall resources. It can also convert all objects in a namespace from `kubectl get all -n default -o yaml`. Package nerds use naml as a translator and experiment harness: take existing manifests, turn them into formatted Go that implements a Deployable interface, inspect the generated Kubernetes objects, and decide whether code-backed deployment makes sense for a project. ### Why package nerds care naml is not the default Kubernetes packaging path; Helm, Kustomize, Jsonnet, CUE, CDK8s, and Pulumi cover adjacent ground. Its value is historical and practical: it captures the 2021 wave of 'YAML fatigue' in a small Go-native tool. ### Timeline - 2021-06-12: GitHub repository created. - 2021-08-20: v0.3.0 YAML release published. - 2021-11-20: v0.4.0 deployable release candidate published. - 2021-11-21: v1.0.0 first major stable release published. - 2021-11-24: v1.0.3 published. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew Formulae page listed 74 installs over the prior 365 days. ### Related projects - Kubernetes client-go - kind - Helm - Kustomize - Jsonnet - CUE - cdk8s - Pulumi ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** naml - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [kconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kconf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, configuration, kubernetes. - [kubetrim](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kubetrim/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, configuration, kubernetes. - [vals](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/vals/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, configuration, kubernetes. - [consul-template](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/consul-template/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, configuration. - [kustomize](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kustomize/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, configuration, kubernetes, yaml. - [qbec](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/qbec/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, configuration, kubernetes. - [helmify](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/helmify/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes, yaml. - [kustomizer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kustomizer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, configuration, kubernetes. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
