Local Development Techniques with Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Shows how to go from a local Dockerfile and node app to a working loop: use Docker Compose or network_mode: bridge for multi-compose networking, spin up Minikube (minikube start, minikube docker-env) to expose Kubernetes internals, and use Skaffold (scaffold) watch and rebuild to auto‑build, push and restart — demo changes flip “hello world” to “hello gids” live. Adds image inspection with Dive/Whaler, cluster UIs (Portainer/Schooner) and VS Code Dev Containers for in‑container breakpoints; all demos run and debug successfully.
