Grogg: A Smarter Way to Manage Kubernetes Inside VSCode

Hey everyone,

I’m Michael, and I wanted to share something I’ve been working on for Kubernetes users who spend their days jumping between kubectl and VSCode.

Like many of you, I got tired of constantly switching between the terminal and my editor just to check logs, scale a deployment, or find out why something wasn’t working. It felt clunky and inefficient.

So, I built Grogg, a Kubernetes GUI inside VSCode. My goal was to make Kubernetes easier to work with, without taking away the flexibility and control of kubectl.

What Grogg Does

✅ Stay in VSCode – No more bouncing between CLI, dashboards, and your IDE.

✅ Multi-Cluster View – Manage multiple clusters and namespaces at a glance.

✅ Quick Actions – Scale deployments, view logs, or delete pods without memorizing long commands.

✅ Secure & Private – Grogg talks only to the Kubernetes API. It never collects or sends cluster data.

✅ Air-Gapped Support – After initial authentication, it works offline, making it enterprise-friendly.

It runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows (both arm64 and x64), and doesn’t require installing anything on the cluster—just connect and go.

Would Love Your Thoughts!

I know some of you prefer the CLI, and others might already use Lens or similar tools. But if you’ve ever thought, "I wish I could just do this inside VSCode," Grogg might be for you.

I’d genuinely love to hear what you think:

• Does this solve any pain points you’ve run into?

• Are there features you’d love to see?

• Anything that would make this more useful for your workflow?

Let me know in the comments or shoot me a message via the site. Your feedback is invaluable, and I truly appreciate your time!

Thanks for reading, and happy coding!
