The use of Telepresence, an open source CNCF tool, has improved the developer experience, accelerated the inner dev loop, and reduced staging environment compute costs for Cloudnative companies. Three case studies are presented to illustrate this point.
- Building and testing microservice-based applications becomes difficult when running everything locally is no longer feasible due to resource requirements.
- Moving to the cloud for testing is a solution, but synchronizing local changes with remote Kubernetes environments can be challenging.
- Telepresence improves the developer experience by allowing developers to test their code changes against external dependencies without the fear of things going wrong or not matching up with production.
- Telepresence eliminates the need to constantly build, deploy, and test images, which speeds up the inner dev loop.
- The use of Telepresence has positively impacted the development workflow of companies such as Culture Code, Voice Flow, and a fintech company in the APAC region.
