We, AppsCode, are using TPRs for

Icinga2 operator - https://github.com/appscode/searchlight
HAProxy based Ingress controller - https://github.com/appscode/voyager

Helm project is looking into using TPRs to store release data:

helm/helm#1650 (comment)

nebril commented Feb 16, 2017

AppController uses TPR to store deployment graphs.

We, Loodse - https://beta.kubermatic.io, use them but having the following issues:
-They don't get deleted with the namespace
-Having a TPR called node.example.org makes kubectl get nodes return my tpr's instead of the actual cluster nodes

Edit: As reference we used: https://github.com/Mirantis/k8s-externalipcontroller/tree/master/pkg/extensions

WIP using TPR's for Amalgam8 microservice routing rules.

We are using TPRs at Zalando Technology for:

our own Zalando Platform IAM OAuth integration: zalando-incubator/kubernetes-on-aws#154
PostgreSQL cluster definition (operator will create a new PostgreSQL/Patroni cluster)

We are building Archon which is a set of controllers that runs on k8s and manages the physical resources that k8s currently doesn't, like Instance, InstanceGroup, Network (defined as TPR). So the cluster managed can scale itself.

@hongchaodeng didn't get notification from github. But luckily my colleague found this gist.

@philips is it possible to put the link to archon repo at the end? I think it will make the format better. Thanks a lot.

I use TPR for a Kafka Operator

We're also using TPRs to manage kubernetes clusters with kubernetes, and develop many controllers like KubernetesController, MachineController, MachineSetController, MachineDeploymentController, etc.

Implement Kubernetes as a Serivce using TPR (in Japanease)
