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 |
