tilt

brew install tilt v0.37.4 Apache-2.0

Go-based CLI for defining and managing local Kubernetes development environments as code.

Why you might care

Tilt automates the inner loop of microservice development on Kubernetes by watching your code, rebuilding containers, and hot-reloading them into a local cluster—no manual kubectl apply cycles. It replaces shell scripts and Makefiles with a declarative Tiltfile, making team onboarding and reproducibility straightforward. Use it if you're developing multiple services that need to coordinate locally.
