Managing development environments as code
About
- A free, open-source development environment automation tool for Kubernetes-based microservice development
- Automates the flow of code change → file watching → image build → deployment update, so the entire environment can be brought up with the tilt up command
- Centered on Kubernetes, but also supports docker-compose and local command-based workflows
- Acquired by Docker in 2022, but it remains an independent open-source project and continues to evolve
- Aims at unified management of modern development environments to manage microservice complexity
