Develop on a branch of your remote cluster with Tilt and Kardinal
- Tilt automates many steps including watching files, building images and ensuring up to date environment, but its efficiency is limited to local Kubernetes clusters.
- Kardinal is an open-source solution for lightweight ephemeral development environments, created for remote development clusters.
- Kardinal leverages request-level routing for effective service routing, maintaining microservices and databases while keeping them isolated.
- The environment in Kardinal works like a branch of a deployed application on Kubernetes, streamlining overhead and reducing cloud costs by over 90%.
- In this tutorial, we'll combine the strengths of developing on Tilt and the efficient service routing of Kardinal.
- You'll learn how to deploy applications, manage resources, and build containers to ensure a smooth and efficient development experience.
- Before getting started with Kardinal, prerequisites include Kardinal CLI, Tilt and a local Kubernetes cluster.
- Once Kardinal manager is deployed to your cluster and your Kubernetes manifest is annotated, deployment is easy using Tilt.
- Integrating Kardinal with Tilt helps to build your applications, set up workflows and automatically reflect changes when you save your files.
- After finishing development cycle, you can remove all created resources from the cluster.
