Tilt Your World! Lessons Learned in Improving Dev Productivity with Tilt - Yuvaraj Balaji Rao Kakaraparthi & Sagar Muchhal, VMware

Would you like to learn how to set up a developer environment that from a simple console allows you to: - Deploy a complex stack of components to a test cluster - Dynamically refresh components after a change in source files - Attach debugger from your favorite IDE - Apply your Application Deployments, CRDs or any YAML - Deploy a full observability stack (monitoring, logging, tracing) Does it sounds like your dream development setup? Trust me, it is not a dream… In this talk, Yuvaraj will show you how the Cluster API maintainers build this setup leveraging Tilt, Delve, Helm and a small go program. The beauty of this idea is that it can be potentially re-used in many other Kubernetes projects where the development cycle of code, build, deploy, debug and repeat can become daunting due to the high number of components involved. Yuvaraj will share the learnings from building this setup for the Cluster API project and show how you too can get your own perfect development environment.
