Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Accelerate your local development environment with Tilt
The first is the load function which loads Tilt extensions. It's a way to expand the tool's features, and several are available. Here we are using docker_build_with_restart, which will update the container running inside our Kubernetes cluster.

Skaffold vs Tilt vs DevSpace
This is the central viewport into manual resource control and environment enhancement through the open-source extensions for Tilt.

Building a "complete" cluster locally

Rancher Desktop, a Docker Desktop Replacement
Recently, I found Tilt [0] to be a good partner of mine to run "all services locally". It can be compared to "webpack (live-reloading, a lot of configuration possibilities) for backend". You want to run a bunch of services directly? Use local_resource()/local(). You have Procfile? There is procfile() function. You have docker-compose.yml with databases? You can run it too with docker_compose(). You want have Tiltfile and include them all-together? There is load(). You need some web-ui for frontend devs and a nice log browser? It is there too. You need to do some extra steps before running a service? You want to update your local cluster with newly built image on file save? No problem, tilt will do that with k8s_yaml() function. Tilt uses Titlfiles for configuration, which are written Pythonish Starlark language and you use them to run any specific logic there.
Also, I am not very lucky in having resemble 1:1 k8s cluster locally. You could be close but as long as you don't run already in cloud you will have different configuration (additional annotations, various quirks that do not exist in kind/k3s but they are on GCP). However, making dedicated dev environments in the cloud might be very costly and incur a lot of additional tinkering.

How to edit code on host and map changes to container files?
If `host` means your production/staging hosts or whatever, you should get out of that habit now. Look into something like tilt.dev or telepresence.io or any number of other solutions that help solve this issue. Doing it directly on any host is just a recipe for bad habits and disaster.

An Overview of Docker Desktop Alternatives
The article doesn't mention k3d (https://k3d.io/) which is a variant of k3s that runs in docker (rather than a VM) - very nice for k8s dev/test on developer workstations.
It integrates very nicely with https://tilt.dev/ also (another very useful tool for k8s related dev/test).
-
Docker slow on MacOS with Cross tool?
If this is an issue during development then you can use something like tilt with docker-compose to directly copy modified source inside container and incrementally build it. https://tilt.dev/

Made a list of Awesome Kubernetes libraries, what should I add?
I'd add Tilt

DevSpace - Development Environments in Kubernetes
Along similar lines, how about comparing Devspace to [Tilt](https://tilt.dev/)?

Is Kubernetes suitable for large, multi-tenant application management?
I'm biased but I do think what you're describing is a good use case for Kubernetes. I work for Loft Labs, we're the company that created vcluster. We do have a commercial product called Loft that lets you manage vclusters and offer them self-service to developers. If you want to get more info on that, the web site is loft.sh.
-
Questions for Heroku-like Project
There are some products available, for example Loft who open sourced vcluster
-
How do you maintain development environments?
We run on EKS and use https://loft.sh/ to deploy development environments. The engineer runs the single service locally that they want to modify. Any other services or databases that service connects to run remotely in our Development EKS cluster using Loft and port forwards to the engineers local environment.
-
Multi cluster vs namespaces
Lastly, one day my employer will let my run Loft so that I can provide on-demand ephemeral k8s clusters to my dev + test teams.
-
Dedicated backend resources per client
Have a look at https://github.com/loft-sh/kiosk and maybe the paid version https://loft.sh/
-
Create new pods/containers for each new user that signs up?
How many friends? I would recommend evaluating Loft which is free for up to 3 users.
-
For devex folks specifically: how do you think about balancing dev empowerment with environment stability?
Automate the setup of new k8s environments, ideally they should be ephemeral, disposed regularly and rebuilt by the devs themselves, on demand. This will also keep costs in check, devs don't work 24/7 so why should their cloud infrastructure? A tool worth checking would be Loft
-
RBAC MANAGEMENT
Loft solves this + much more. There are cost-saving features too, so it might actually pay for itself. Don't hesitate to book a demo.

7 Kubernetes Cost Optimization Tools To Observe and Save on Costs
Loft.sh provides self-serve Kubernetes solutions for cost optimization, CI/CD, policy enforcement, user management, collaboration, and more. It helps save on Kubernetes costs by using quotas and space constraints which helps while sharing your clusters among multiple users and teams. Auto delete for idle namespaces and sleep mode for idle workloads also saves costs.
What are some alternatives?
devspace - DevSpace - The Fastest Developer Tool for Kubernetes ⚡ Automate your deployment workflow with DevSpace and develop software directly inside Kubernetes.
skaffold - Easy and Repeatable Kubernetes Development
minikube - Run Kubernetes locally
kubefwd - Bulk port forwarding Kubernetes services for local development.
vcluster - vCluster - Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters - Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces.
