How to improve the Kubernetes development experience
Modern apps are becoming increasingly complex and difficult to develop locally. Where once was a monolithic application with a database, there are now many microservices, message queues, and integrations with various third-party services. In this talk, we'll dive into strategies and demos to bridge local and remote and what platform engineers need to keep in mind while designing their platforms.
