Quick Wins by Reading API Reference

I know it can be tedious and more of a time sink to read through API reference or schema. But it is absolutely worth it, especially if you also take notes for yourself.

Let me explain. I have been wrapping my head around how I can get up and running with using CloudNativePG for my databases. Starting with Linkding, but have plans to expand it to a half dozen other self-hosted apps.

I didn't want to just copy someone else's manifest, or ask GenAI to create a manifest for me. I took the time to read what each field was for, and went down the rabbit hole reading first the Cluster reference, then ClusterSpec and several deeper fields within that.
