related issue: #745

We think there is a chunking problem between Go and JavaScript which makes the watch get intermittent and silent failures. We think using Go from a Pepr modules to speak to kube-apiserver (also Go) could solve the problem. This would not affect the api surface area

Describe the solution you'd like

• Given we are running v8go
• When a watch is occurring
• Then events will not be silently dropped

Is there any concern with the active maintenance of v8go? It looks like the last release was a year and a half ago, last commit was around the same time, and it appears to still be on go 1.17. There's also a decent amount of open issues and PRs, I think I might be concerned about relying on it for such a core part of pepr/kfc - not sure there is a lot of confidence that we could get issues fixed, CVEs resolved, etc in a timely manner.

Definitely were concerns about the supportability, there is Sobek from Grafana that is more supported but the ultimate hesitation was around having to maintain support for native node libraries in Go and inject them into the runtime environment.

Here is how our evaluation.

We are going to close this issue for now as we focus on implementing native fetch and native stream to improve the watch connection.
