Tilt promises to reproduce production stacks for local development with hot reloading capabilities.
Local development environments are often broken because they're not part of CI. Despite attempts to include local development setup in CI, it's difficult to maintain.
Tilt effectively bridges the gap between local development and production environments, providing a reliable and self-healing local environment with seamless hot reloading of containerized applications in a Kubernetes context.
The most impressive feature of Tilt is its hot reload capability, which automatically rebuilds the Docker image and updates the Kubernetes deployment instantly when changes are made in the code.
