This seems really tempting because try as you might, your computer is going to nearly stall and fall out of the sky, if not leave burns on your hands from a 4-core laptop going full-power.

But modern development can be complicated, less so with certain all-in-one kits, but Kubernetes is a learning curve too. And, Kubernetes is expensive.

I don't know about DevSpace, but know I know Garden (similar concept) requires "read-write many" type volumes which not all Kubernetes providers have and can be expensive add-ons.

Let's get rid of the electron apps so we can go back to working on or machines, not just talking about working! Fingers-crossed. In the mean time, offloading work to other devices seems like a great idea, hopefully one that can be easy affordable, with Kubernetes or otherwise.

What is DevSpace (for Kubernetes and Docker)?

With a DevSpace, you can build, test and run code directly inside any Kubernetes cluster. You can run devspace up in any of your projects and the client-only DevSpace CLI will start a DevSpace within your Kubernetes cluster. Keep coding as usual and the DevSpace CLI will sync any code change directly into the containers of your DevSpace.

No more waiting for re-building images, re-deploying containers and restarting applications on every source code change. Simply edit your code with any IDE and run your code instantly inside your DevSpace.

Why use a DevSpace?

Program inside any Kubernetes cluster (e.g. minikube, self-hosted or cloud platform) and:

iterate quickly: no more building and pushing images on every change, use hot reloading instead (e.g. with nodemon) keep your existing workflow and tools: the DevSpace CLI works with every IDE (no plugins required) access cluster-internal services and data during development debug efficiently with port forwarding and terminal proxying migrate to Docker & Kubernetes within minutes
