Helm Subcharts: Composing Applications from Dependencies
Helm subcharts are nested components a parent chart can configure, like a docker-compose for Kubernetes manifests. Use them to bundle dependencies like a database with your app. The footgun: subcharts are sandboxed and cannot access parent values directly.
Helm subcharts are nested, stand-alone components. A parent chart assembles and configures these children, much like a `docker-compose.yml` orchestrates services. This is ideal for bundling dependencies, like adding a standard database chart to your application. The footgun: subcharts are sandboxed and cannot access parent values. The parent must explicitly override a subchart's values or use special 'global' values to share configuration.
