The Joy of DevEx – Tightening dev feedback loops in K8S – Matthew Revell-Gordon, Senior Consultant
If you’ve ever developed a set of microservices and tried to run and test them locally on your laptop, you’ll know that this often doesn’t catch many problems, which you only find once you run them in a cloud-based deployment. This can lead to unnecessary expense, and drags on your dev feedback loop.
Kubernetes, like most cloud-native technologies, can be a challenge to test locally. Locally-installed clusters do not behave the same as the cloud, however, it is often expensive and time consuming to test only on a cloud-based environment.
In this session Matt will look at the challenges of local testing and offer a potential solution that we have found both efficient and effective. Leveraging tools such as Colima, KIND, and a few custom tweaks here and there to bring a local Kubernetes cluster more in line with a cloud-based deployment, allowing for more effective local testing, and really levelling up your joy of DevEx.
