Boosting Developer Velocity by Optimizing Feedback Loops

Containerization has revolutionized the software development process by ensuring consistency across environments and simplifying deployments. However, it introduces friction into the internal development cycle (inner dev loop), forcing it to slow down. To maintain high developer velocity in a containerized environment, local-to-remote development using tools like Ambassador's Telepresence can be employed. This approach allows developers to run their code locally while seamlessly connecting to the remote Kubernetes cluster, enabling rapid iteration and testing without compromising the benefits of containerization.
