Kubernetes has made it very easy to deploy applications to the cloud at a higher scale than ever, but the development practices have not evolved at the same speed as application deployment patterns. Today, most developers try to either run parts of the infrastructure locally or just test these integrations directly in the cluster via CI jobs, or the docker build/redeploy cycle. It works, but this workflow is painful and incredibly slow. Okteto accelerates the development workflow of Kubernetes applications. You write your code locally and okteto detects the changes and instantly updates your Kubernetes applications. Okteto allows you to develop inside a container. When you run out to up your Kubernetes deployment is replaced by a development container that contains your development tools (e.g. maven and jdk, or npm, python, go compiler, debuggers, etc). This development container can use any docker image.
Features
- Create a bidirectional file synchronization service to keep your changes up to date between your local filesystem and your development container
- Automatic local and remote port forwarding using SSH, so you can access your cluster services via localhost or connect a remote debugger
- Give you an interactive terminal to your development container, so you can build, test, and run your application as you would from a local terminal
- Build and run your application using your favorite tools directly from your development container
- Your development container reuses the same variables, secrets, sidecars, volumes, etc.
- Get access to the hardware and network of your cluster when developing your application
