Best Practices to Spring to Kubernetes Easier and Faster
summary
Practical checklist: use Jib and Skaffold (or Cloud Native Buildpacks) to build layered images and avoid hand‑written Dockerfiles; prefer container‑aware OpenJDK builds to prevent unexpected heap growth and OOMKilled processes; run tests with Testcontainers and mock contracts; develop locally with k3s or kind and automate redeploy/debug loops with Skaffold/Cloud Code. Configure Kubernetes with liveness vs readiness probes, implement graceful shutdown tied to readiness, set proper resource requests and limits, and run the container non‑root.
