Starting a new project that deploys to Kubernetes can be a time consuming process. It’s easy to get caught up with configuring your infrastructure instead of actually writing your application’s business logic. Developer tools and practices that help streamline Kubernetes workflows, while keeping you focused on code, are key to driving your productivity.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you begin your app development journey with Kubernetes. You can also try out our interactive Kubernetes tutorial to see how Cloud Code can transform your development journey!

1. Develop where you’re most comfortable

As a developer, you probably spend most of your time in your favorite IDE. To simplify Kubernetes development, enhance your IDE with extensions. Extensions can make the process of building, deploying, scaling, and managing Kubernetes infrastructure and applications a breeze. To increase your productivity and make your IDE Kubernetes ready, consider installing Cloud Code. It’s an IDE extension, available for VS Code and Intellij, that helps you write, debug and deploy your container-based apps faster.
