fission-src/pkg/executor/multitenant/ns_watcher.go

// Package multitenant provides utilities for running Fission in a multi-tenant
// Kubernetes environment where user namespaces are created dynamically at runtime.
//
// # The Problem
//
// In a standard Fission installation, all resource namespaces must be enumerated in the
// FISSION_RESOURCE_NAMESPACES environment variable before the process starts. Adding a
// new user namespace requires patching that env var and triggering a rolling restart of
// every Fission component (executor, router, buildermgr, etc.) — causing ~30 seconds of
// downtime per new tenant.
//
// At scale this becomes a severe operational problem: with hundreds of new tenants being
// created continuously, the executor is in a permanent rolling restart loop, causing
// cascading failures for all existing users.
//
// # The Solution
//
// This package implements hot namespace registration without pod restarts.
// The mechanism is intentionally simple and decoupled from any specific platform:
//
//  1. A platform (a cloud console, a CI/CD system, an operator) creates a Kubernetes
//     Namespace and sets the label:
//     fission.io/managed=true
//
//  2. StartNSWatcher registers a Kubernetes Namespace Informer that receives an event
//     the moment a labeled Namespace is created or updated — no polling, no delay.
//
//  3. On the AddFunc / UpdateFunc callback NSWatcher calls AddNamespace on every
//     registered executor type (poolmgr, newdeploy, container). Each type creates
//     per-NS informer factories, pod listers, and event handlers — live, without restart.
//
//  4. NamespaceResolver.AddNamespace deduplicates — calling AddNamespace on an already-
//     registered namespace is always a safe no-op.
//
// # Backward Compatibility
//
// The FISSION_RESOURCE_NAMESPACES environment variable continues to work as before.
// Namespaces listed there are registered at startup and do not require the label.
// This package adds on top of the existing mechanism — it does not replace it.
//
// # Required RBAC
//
// The fission-executor ServiceAccount must be granted permission to list and watch
// Namespaces at the cluster scope. Apply the manifest at:
//
//	deploy/multitenant/rbac.yaml
//
// # Integration Contract
//
// The entire integration contract for external platforms is a single label on a Namespace:
//
//	apiVersion: v1
//	kind: Namespace
//	metadata:
//	  name: tenant-abc123
//	  labels:
//	    fission.io/managed: "true"
//
// No other coupling to Fission internals is required or expected.
