here is no shortage now of development and CI/CD tools for cloud-native application development. Developers are being pampered with options, especially when it comes to managing the CD pipeline in conjunction with Kubernetes—one of which is Skaffold.

As mentioned in multiple articles before this, Kubernetes offers a lot of flexibility, but it isn’t the easiest deployment environment to work with. In the old days, minor code changes required the rebuilding of containers and redeployment of container images.

Until Skaffold, a command-line tool designed specifically for streamlining the process. Skaffold actually turns Kubernetes development into a real-time process, actively monitoring local code sources and handling the rebuilding and redeployment of applications automatically.
