Local (micro)services development on Kubernetes

Slides for a talk I gave at the Go meetups in Milan and Rome (Italy) about my path to productive local development environments on Kubernetes using tilt.dev.

1. Milan - Nov 24th, 2022 Local (micro)services development on Kubernetes Claudio Beatrice Software Engineer @ SIGHUP
2. Hello Cloud Natives! 👋
3. context.Background() ☝ • 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 ff ers signi fi cantly from staging and production • Running complex deployments locally became next to impossible, especially on Windows and MacOS
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
5. It takes all sorts to make a Cloud Dev Env ☁ Developers developers developers
7. Tilt in a 🥜🐚 • A Command-line tool coupled with a Web UI • Controlled by one or more Tilt fi les written in Starlark • Sporting loops, conditionals, variables • Featuring an extensive library of functions and extensions • Powered by the Tilt Engine, updating the Cluster's Resources automatically • Aided by ctlptl, to easily create clusters as code

10. Enough said 🤐
11. Find Tilt.dev on the interwebz #tilt on Kubernetes Slack tilt-dev/tilt on Github tilt.dev
12. Don't forget to find other Gophers, too! 🇮🇹
