About
Skaffold is an open-source command-line tool from Google that automates the workflow for building, pushing, and deploying containerized applications to Kubernetes. It operates entirely client-side with no cluster components, making it lightweight and easy to share across teams. It supports features like policy-based image tagging, file syncing, port-forwarding, and integrates with tools like Helm, Kustomize, and Kaniko.
Problem
Developing and deploying applications on Kubernetes is cumbersome and slow, requiring complex bespoke scripts and tooling.
