[Feature] Kubernetes operator integration

[ElioNeto]

Overview

Build a Kubernetes operator that manages vyx deployments natively, handling scaling, rolling updates, and health management through custom CRDs.

Acceptance Criteria

• Custom Resource Definition (CRD): VyxApp to describe a vyx project deployment
• Operator manages core and worker Deployments, Services, and ConfigMaps
• Supports rolling updates with zero downtime
• Integrates with HorizontalPodAutoscaler for worker pool scaling
• Liveness and readiness probes configured automatically from heartbeat endpoint
• Helm chart provided for easy installation

Example CRD

apiVersion: vyx.dev/v1
kind: VyxApp
metadata:
  name: my-app
spec:
  workers:
    - id: node:api
      replicas: 3
    - id: python:ml
      replicas: 2
