Flux is a set of continuous and progressive delivery solutions for Kubernetes that are open and extensible.

Lens is an IDE to take control of your Kubernetes clusters.

Kubernetes Operator to automate Helm, DaemonSet, StatefulSet & Deployment updates

Your new microservice development environment friend. This CLI tool allows you to define a configuration to work with both local applications (Go, NodeJS, Rust or others) and forward some other applications over Kubernetes in case you don't want to run them locally.

Lightweight Kubernetes
Easy to install. A binary of less than 40 MB. Only 512 MB of RAM required to run.

Tilt makes it possible to develop all your microservices locally in Kubernetes while collaborating with your team.
Write a Tiltfile script that describes how your services fit together. Share it with your team so that any engineer can hack on any server. See a complete view of your system, from building to deploying to logging to crashing.

Simple app development & deployment - into any Kubernetes cluster. Draft makes it easy to build applications that run on Kubernetes. Draft targets the "inner loop" of a developer's workflow: as they hack on code, but before code is committed to version control. Using two simple commands, developers can now begin hacking on container-based applications without requiring Docker or even installing Kubernetes themselves.

Telepresence, in conjunction with a containerized development environment, gives the developer a fast development workflow in developing a multi-container application on Kubernetes. Telepresence lets you run a Docker container locally, while proxying it to your Kubernetes cluster.

Jenkins X is a CI / CD platform for Kubernetes.

Gitkube is a tool for building and deploying docker images on Kubernetes using git push.

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 can also be used in an automated context such as a CI/CD pipeline to leverage the same workflow and tooling when moving applications to production.

Helm helps you manage Kubernetes applications — Helm Charts helps you define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes application.

Charts are easy to create, version, share, and publish — so start using Helm and stop the copy-and-paste madness.
