Developing locally with Kubernetes - a Guide and Best Practices

What if you could debug a service in a shared Kubernetes cluster, without waiting for a container build?

Developing locally with Kubernetes - a Guide and Best Practices
#1about 5 minutes

Understanding the pros and cons of microservices architecture

Microservices offer benefits like independent scaling and deployment, but can lead to complex systems that are difficult to manage.

#2about 5 minutes

Using Kubernetes for complex integration testing

As business processes involve more microservices, Kubernetes becomes essential for managing integration testing environments that local setups cannot handle.

#3about 2 minutes

Comparing local, remote, and hybrid Kubernetes environments

Developers can choose between isolated local setups, scalable remote clusters, or a hybrid model, but shared environments introduce collision risks.

#4about 3 minutes

Managing the high cost of cloud development environments

The rising expense of public cloud services necessitates careful cost management using tools like OpenCost to avoid impacting a company's financial health.

#5about 3 minutes

Leveraging idle employee machines as a free cloud

A novel approach to reduce cloud costs involves creating a distributed computing grid by utilizing the idle processing power of employee computers.

#6about 3 minutes

The benefits of running Kubernetes locally for development

Using a local Kubernetes setup ensures environment parity with production, reduces bugs, improves developer familiarity with operations, and enables offline work.

#7about 6 minutes

How to choose the right local Kubernetes distribution

A comparison of popular local Kubernetes distributions like Kind, Minikube, and K3s highlights their trade-offs in resource usage, features, and setup complexity.

#8about 5 minutes

Using Telepresence to solve the shared cluster problem

Tools like Telepresence solve the developer collision problem in shared clusters by intercepting and redirecting specific traffic to a developer's local machine for debugging.

#9about 5 minutes

Demo of local debugging with Kind and Telepresence

A practical demonstration shows how to use Kind to run a local cluster and Telepresence to intercept traffic for live debugging and code changes.

#10about 1 minute

Key takeaways for an efficient Kubernetes development workflow

Choose the simplest approach that works, from avoiding Kubernetes entirely to using a central cluster with tools like Telepresence for complex projects.
