Abstract

In this session, we will delve into strategies for development environments when production is running in Kubernetes. Those include local dev with Docker Compose, local dev with Kubernetes, and remote dev with Kubernetes, and their effects on the SDLC. Attendees will gain insights on: - Pros and cons of each development approach. - How to align their K8s dev environment with their team's unique needs. - Strategies for optimizing workflows with the right Kubernetes development environment choice. We'll also discuss the benefits and challenges of coding and testing in production-like environments and examine potential obstacles to using remote Kubernetes environments directly. By the end of the session, attendees will be empowered with the knowledge and tools to seamlessly transition their local development to prod-like environments in the world of K8s.
