Rapid microservices development with Signadot
While developing microservices locally is possible, running and testing them in a production-like Kubernetes environment is complex. A typical development workflow while developing service in Kubernetes can significantly slow you down - from building a Docker image, pushing it, restarting the deployments, and testing the changes in a shared cluster. And all that, assuming you manage to keep the shared cluster up to date! In this article, I'll look at a tool called Signadot. Signadot introduces a concept of sandboxes that allow you to considerably shorten your developer workflow and go from minutes to mere seconds! The sandbox concept will enable you to build and run a service locally using the upstream and downstream dependencies inside a shared cluster.
