Cloud Native Development Without the Toil - An Overview of Practices and Tooling

Explore cloud native development practices and tooling in this 35-minute conference talk from GOTO 2021. Learn about continuous delivery, microservices, and Kubernetes, focusing on speed and safety in software development. Discover patterns like artifact syncing with Skaffold, dev environment bridging using Telepresence, and GitOps with Argo CD. Understand the importance of safety strategies, cloud integration, and workflow optimization. Gain insights into full cycle development and how to balance platform, people, and processes for effective cloud native software delivery.

Intro
