epinio VS devspace

You could have a look to https://epinio.io/. It is a PAAS that leverage build pack to deploy app on k8s cluster. Disclaimer: my team is working on it

Epinion

Would have helped if I spent it right 😂 - https://github.com/epinio/epinio

Epinio can be installed using Helm onto any compliant Kubernetes Cluster. The latest CLI release can be found at [][https://github.com/epinio/epinio/releases]

We are building a product (Epinio) to avoid this. The idea is that devs don't need to access the cluster and to know the Kubernetes internals to deploy something. It's still in alpha/beta, with a lot of development ongoing. 🙂

For the Apache/php container portion and building the app itself, I'd suggest looking at buildpacks (Paketo buildpacks are easy). This can let you standardize on the code->container pipeline. (I'm biased since I'm working on Epinio which uses them to simplify the code->running application pipeline)

For dev work, we also are working on a project called Epinio which takes a bit of a different approach to developing on top of Kubernetes. (https://epinio.io)

Your workflow describes the inner loop of development. Take a look at https://skaffold.dev that. If you can’t be bothered to learn how to write k8s manifests, epinio might be worth a shot. I tried it on some simple stuff and it worked but I doubt it’s usefulness in complex setups. https://github.com/epinio/epinio

Check also devspace.sh and okteto.com

There is actually a built-in converter from docker-compose.yaml to devspace.yaml, it is part of the "devspace init" command. There are a few known issues related to it, in case you would like to contribute :)

Wrapping https://devspace.sh in my company's internal CLI to improve development experience

For Kubernetes clusters, https://devspace.sh/ allows you to iterate on your app in a running pod from your IDE. No ci/cd pipeline, no re-applying manifests; it just uploads source code from your local machine and restarts your app for you in an existing pod. Pretty slick!!! But it requires K8s, so some devs may balk at it. (Tilt and Skaffold do the same thing)

We’re excited to announce that DevSpace version 6 has been released. Thanks to everyone who used the alpha and beta versions and gave us feedback.

DevSpace is free, lets you develop natively in the cloud on any K8s cluster. Compatible with any multitenancy solution, policy governance, etc. Works with your IDE of choice. Declarative configuration. Supports custom pipelines and deploy logic. Can link multiple environments together. https://devspace.sh/

My favourite tool in this category is Devspace. As you've requested it is capable of building and deploying multiple images.
