Dancing with Helm, Skaffold and Minikube!
summary
Minikube runs a full Kubernetes VM on laptop platforms and adds a single-step installer plus planned tmpfs mounts and suspend support to cut startup time and I/O; a preview library called kubernetes-in-container (kick) promises to run clusters in containers, enforcing a tight security whitelist and offering 5x faster startup with 5x less resource usage. Skaffold auto-detects repo layout, builds images, syncs static files without rebuilding and deploys via kubectl, Helm or kustomize, enabling parallel Helm releases (stable/canary) during local dev.
