Easy and Repeatable Kubernetes Development

Skaffold is a command-line tool designed to simplify continuous development for Kubernetes applications. It automates the workflow of building, pushing, and deploying your application, enabling seamless iteration on source code locally or in remote Kubernetes clusters.

Key Features:

Blazing Fast Local Development: Automatically detects changes in your source code and triggers the build, push, and deploy pipeline.
Optimized Source-to-Deploy Pipeline: Reduces feedback loops by efficiently managing the development workflow.
Pluggable Architecture: Integrates with various build and deployment tools to support diverse workflows.
Multi-Component Applications: Manages applications composed of multiple components with ease.
Context-Aware Customization: Supports profiles, environment variables, and flags to adapt to different environments.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, and teams building Kubernetes-native applications. Skaffold streamlines development workflows, reduces manual effort, and accelerates feedback loops, making it easier to iterate and deploy applications efficiently. It can be installed via winget.

Skaffold is a command line tool that facilitates continuous development for Kubernetes applications. You can iterate on your application source code locally then deploy to local or remote Kubernetes clusters. Skaffold handles the workflow for building, pushing and deploying your application. It also provides building blocks and describe customizations for a CI/CD pipeline.

Features

Blazing fast local development
- optimized source-to-deploy - Skaffold detects changes in your source code and handles the pipeline to build, push, and deploy your application automatically with policy based image tagging
- continuous feedback - Skaffold automatically aggregates logs from deployed resources and forwards container ports to your local machine
Project portability
- share with other developers - Skaffold is the easiest way to share your project with the world: git clone and skaffold run
- context aware - use Skaffold profiles, user level config, environment variables and flags to describe differences in environments
- CI/CD building blocks - use skaffold run end-to-end, or use individual Skaffold phases to build up your CI/CD pipeline. skaffold render outputs hydrated Kubernetes manifests that can be used in GitOps workflows.
Pluggable, declarative configuration for your project
- skaffold init - Skaffold discovers your files and generates its own config file
