This week, we hosted a webinar “Accelerate Your Inner Dev Loop for Kubernetes Services” with Abhay Saxena, Principal Software Engineer at Data Wire.

Microservices are incredibly useful and exciting; however, containers do introduce complexities to the inner dev loops. Furthermore, typical approaches to remedy these complexities introduce additional issues. To help address these issues, Datawire created the feature Service Preview, which is powered by Telepresence and uses the layer 7 routing of the Ambassador Edge Stack. Service Preview allows you to leverage a shared staging cluster with high fidelity update environments that scale well as your application grows in size in complexity. Abhay explains in further detail that Service Preview allows you to:

  • Code microservices locally
  • Preview changes immediately with routed test traffic
  • Use your favorite tools (debuggers, IDEs, etc.) locally
  • Treat microservice as if it is live in the cluster
  • Work in isolation before merging your changes

In this webinar, Abhay analyzes why Datawire built Service Preview and why those who use the feature love it. Abhay also justifies how simple Service Preview is to implement.
