Okteto

12 reviews

Okteto is a cloud-native development platform that revolutionizes the way developers build, test, and deploy applications by providing automated, ephemeral environments that mirror production setups. By abstracting the complexities of Kubernetes, Okteto enables developers to focus on coding without the overhead of managing infrastructure. This approach accelerates development cycles, enhances collaboration, and ensures consistency across development and production environments. Key Features and Functionality: - Automated Development Environments: Provision on-demand, pre-configured environments that replicate production, allowing developers to start coding immediately without manual setup. - Instant Code Synchronization: Implement real-time code synchronization, enabling developers to see changes instantly in their cloud environment, reducing build times to under three seconds. - Preview Environments: Automatically generate shareable preview environments for each pull request, facilitating efficient code reviews and stakeholder feedback. - Remote Debugging and Testing: Run tests directly within development environments, catching bugs early and minimizing discrepancies between development and production. - Unified Management Interface: Utilize a centralized dashboard to manage development environments, applications, workflows, and roles, providing visibility and control over the development process. Primary Value and Problem Solved: Okteto addresses the challenges of setting up and maintaining consistent development environments by automating the provisioning of cloud-based, production-like environments. This eliminates the "works on my machine" problem, reduces onboarding time for new developers, and accelerates the development lifecycle. By providing instant feedback through real-time code synchronization and automated testing, Okteto enhances developer productivity and ensures that applications are tested in environments that closely resemble production, leading to more reliable software releases.

Preview Environments are a Breeze With Okteto

We had an internal development team maintaining our preview environments that we spin up for automated tests in CI. The previews never worked exactly the way we wanted and the took our engineers away from what they needed to be focused on: our product! We switched over Okteto Enterprise and couldn't be happier. We use Okteto to automaticall spin up the environments using their GitHub Action whenever pull requests are created. The automated tests run against the environments in the cloud and are torn down the the testing process completes. If we need to make an environment stay active longer, we add a custom label to the PR and the environment will stay active until the PR is closed. The whole process is great and we never have to worry about it. It just works.

Excellent/versatile tool to simplify development of apps with complex k8 architecture

It just improves the developer experience tremendously. It requires a bit of effort to setup depending on your specific usecase but after that it saves the developers a lot of frustration and time. It means that when you onboard a developer, he basically only needs to install a cli tool and run 2 commands and he/she will have full access to a fully configured dev environment that also closely mirrors production. The developer will not have to spend any time on configuring architecture or secrets, benefitting security as well. Additionally okteto makes it easy to deploy previews or run test containers in production like environments. It integrates with CI/CD quite easily and the support has been excellent so far.

Easily switch between different development or testing environments

Okteto enables me to spin up new development environments with the click of a button. I can easily switch between different development or testing environments to develop or test different features (or bug fixes). In each environment I can deploy different combinations of branches for the microservices that make up our application. Additionally each environment can contain the specific test data that I need for developing a specific feature. When I need to work on an other feature temporarily I simply switch to the other environment while my current environment continues to exist. When a new feature is ready for review one of our QA people can test directly in the existing environment. No need for a tester to spin up a separate testing environment (alhouth depending on your workflow you might want to spin up a new preview environment for QA, which is perfectly possible with Okteto as well).
