okteto VS jib

There are dedicated tools just for that. Apart from skaffold check also tilt.dev, garden.io, devspace.sh, okteto.com

Check also devspace.sh and okteto.com

You can consider using okteto for development environments, it lets you deploy your local code directly to k8s replacing the existing pods, our team uses it and it works pretty well with Golang.

Okteto is an application that allows you to develop inside a container, along with many features it permit the user to start a development environment and provide an automatic SSL Endpoints for k8s.

With Infrastructure as Code at its current state of maturity, it’s now easier than ever to replicate microservice environments in the cloud. This unlocked a new approach of having a personal production-like cloud environment for every developer, which they can use freely and in isolation. It comes in two flavors - persistent environments, or ephemeral environments created on demand with products like Okteto or Bunnyshell (also sometimes called Environment as a Service)1. This approach overcomes the resource limitations of the local environment but substitutes them for some new difficulties:

Remote development will be popular? Yes.

But developing in a monolithic machine may be not. The development environment should be clean and isolated, and products like gitpod and coder is promising.

Besides this, maybe you can have a look at https://github.com/tensorchord/envd and https://github.com/okteto/okteto

Okteto accelerates the development workflow of Kubernetes applications. You write your code locally and okteto detects the changes and instantly updates your Kubernetes applications.

Hey! Recently, I’ve been playing around with [Okteto](https://www.okteto.com/) to see how it helps with the local development of apps that will run in Kubernetes. It seems to be quite a good option for developers who don’t want to spend their time dealing with setting up and maintaining clusters. Moreover, you can use a development environment from Okteto without thinking about CI/CD pipelines for delivering the app.So, instead of working on your code locally and deploying it then to the cluster, the whole development process is shifted straight to K8s. That makes Okteto approach a bit different from what other projects, like Skaffold and werf, do. To implement this idea, they offer a [CLI tool](https://github.com/okteto/okteto) and their own cloud provided as both SaaS and self-hosted (it has a limited free option).Here is [my overview](https://blog.flant.com/okteto-cloud-for-local-development-in-kubernetes/) of Okteto; any feedback — especially, your own experience — is more than welcome.

There's a long long route to cloudification, but works like Okteto[1] seem like a nice early pass at doing what Docker-Compose was capable of for fast local development, but modern. Pursuing remote-development makes a lot of sense. There's already solid VSCode integration[2].

If you just need a terminal like thing to local-dev in, toolbx[3] is probably the first choice.

Hi Jacob. I am one of the founders of Okteto (https://okteto.com/), a remote development platform for Compose and Kubernetes applications. We use Syncthing to sync code between the developer laptop and pods running in Kubernetes. I would love to know your thoughts on the strengths and weak points of Mutagen vs Syncthing for this use case.

You need to build Docker images for each app. This is specific to the JHipster application used in this tutorial which uses Jib to build the images. Make sure you are logged into Docker using docker login. Navigate to each app folder (store, invoice, product) and run the following command:

JIB

It is pretty easy to do with https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib.

Save yourself the dockerfile and use jib: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib/tree/master/jib-maven-plugin

I first learned about Distroless because it was the default option in Google's Jib. Jib is a Maven plugin to create Docker containers without dependency on Docker. Note that the default has changed now.

Optimize your Dockerfile by using a small base Java Image, use either Spring Boot's layers tools or Google Jib to build your docker file, and increase CPU/Memory requests and limits if you can.

In this section, we will setup the automated generation and deployment of a Docker container image. You will need a Docker Hub account and the Jib Gradle Plugin.

If you don't want to hack on your own scripts to package your app into a container, I can recommend the JIB maven plugin. A gradle version is also available.
