Helm Chart Patterns

This covers the production patterns you need when building Helm charts beyond the basic scaffolding. It walks through chart structure, templating with proper quoting and indentation (which everyone gets wrong initially), values.schema.json for validation, and the whole dependency management piece. The references span hooks, testing strategies, and distribution workflows including OCI registries. Useful when you're moving past your first chart and need to handle multi-environment configs, library charts for reusable helpers, or building an actual chart repository. The best practices checklist alone will save you from the usual security context and secret management mistakes that show up in code review.
