Research direction

Start by locating deployment-api.yaml and comparing the existing extraSpec pattern elsewhere in the chart. Trace how chart values are passed into the deployment template, then verify that extraTemplateSpec can set priorityClassName under spec.template.spec without breaking existing defaults. Done means the rendered deployment exposes the requested field.

Description

We've run into an issue with self-hosted Flagsmith where its pods are occasionally cycled due to other pods hogging resources. To resolve this we need to set a priorityClassName on the Flagsmith pods. This can be done through deployment-api.yaml through spec.template.spec. However, there is no hook in the chart to do so.

Recommendation: Add extraTemplateSpec to allow adding addition fields for the template in the deployment. This would allow us to specify priorityClassName and be flexible enough to handle other needs. This follows the pattern of extraSpec elsewhere.

Workarounds: Use kustomize or other means to modify the charts.
