   • Several (teams of) developers working together
   
   • Number of projects increased over time
   
   • Applications started to be packed as containers
   
   • Kubernetes became the de-facto standard for orchestrating them
   
   • Local deployment di

4. Looking for an ideal solution 💡
   have your cybercake and eat it, too
   • Kubernetes-based, to be closer to prod
   
   • Modular, to be able to run only a subset of the services
   
   • Hybrid, to be able to mix and match local and remote resources
   
   • Fast, to reduce friction and improve productivity
   
   • Flexible, to allow for customization
   
   • Simple, for faster onboardings
   
   • Transparent, to stay close to dev-ops the toolchain

   • Controlled by one or more Tilt
   fi
   les written in Starlark
   • Sporting loops, conditionals, variables
   
   • Featuring an extensive library of functions and extensions
