Approaches in Cloud Development Ergonomics

1

Telepresence

This is where shared environment tools like Telepresence and CodeZero can help. They assume you're only working on one or two microservices anyway, and running them locally is not an issue. These tools let you connect your local service to the staging environment, replacing the service currently running in the cluster, without deployment. The code you're working on runs locally, and its dependencies run in the cloud. Not only can you keep working on your local environment, you can iterate on testing against your cloud environment without waiting for lengthy CI and deployment processes.

Okteto

With Infrastructure as Code at its current state of maturity, it’s now easier than ever to replicate microservice environments in the cloud. This unlocked a new approach of having a personal production-like cloud environment for every developer, which they can use freely and in isolation. It comes in two flavors - persistent environments, or ephemeral environments created on demand with products like Okteto or Bunnyshell (also sometimes called Environment as a Service)1. This approach overcomes the resource limitations of the local environment but substitutes them for some new difficulties:.

GitHub Codespaces

You have to work against a cloud environment, which isn’t always fun (though some tools make it easier, like GitHub Codespaces or Gitpod).
