Taming Kubernetes: Streamlining Inner-loop Development for Distributed Systems
Conference (INTERMEDIATE level)
Microservices and distributed systems in general are often deployed on a platform such as Kubernetes, which orchestrates the deployment and management of containerized applications. Microservices, however, don't exist in a vacuum. They typically communicate with other services, such as databases, message brokers, or other microservices. This distributedness makes it hard for you to do local/inner-loop development and testing efficiently.
In this talk, you will learn about some potential solutions you can use to help tackle some of these challenges by either running services locally in a more efficient way or by interacting with external dependencies/systems remotely.
You should come away from this session with some new ideas on how to work with distributed applications using technologies such as Docker Compose, Podman Desktop, TestContainers, Quarkus Dev Services, Remote Development, Skupper, and Eclipse JKube.
