+Okteto: Ephemeral environents for testing
+
+## History
+
+- Starting point: Local Dev -> Setup for new devices or devs is realy slow (on average 10hrs a week)
+- Next Idea: EC2 Instances with a fancy docker-compose and scripts -> No more local dev
+- Problems: Still complex -  just in the cloud, manual updates, allways-on required (no working in the train)
+- Risks: Developers will just create workarounds and shadow it
+
+## T-Env
+
+- Baseline: Setup an environment on kubernetes for each dev with ci/cd
+- Okteto: A single command to enter dev mode `t dev start` with file sync from local
+- Implementation: Wrapper arount the okteto cli
+- Why: Becaus dev seems to love the cli
+- Self service observability for troubleshooting in your env
+
+Used Open soruce Tools: Pulumi, Grafana, Okteto, K8s
+
+### Did it work?
+
+- The time to test is way faster
+- The path was clear
+- The environments should be ephemeral but devs don't like that -> They decided to allow for long lived envs
+- Cloud cost is relatively high with long living envs -> They implemented a sleep system based on dev timezone 
+(or manual wake-up)
+
+## The futuuuuure
+
+- The company is not getting smaller -> More devs annd more services
+- AI agents will write some of the code in the future
+- Idea: Only run modified code in env instead of everything
