Okteto Reviews

Floris N.
Network Specialist at CegekaEasily 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).

Heath H.
Talented QA Automation Engineering leader with strong DevOps opinionsGreat for shift-left testing and quickie demo environments
Okteto provides a very comprehensive solution for managing our Docker containers used in pre-merge testing, with extensive environment visibility and management as well as user access controls. It provides a modern, smooth, easy-to-use interface. Beyond the tool is the fantastic, personalized support and engagement from the Okteto team.
With it's great GitHub integration, we use Okteto to spin up a test environment (both automated and manual testing is possible) for every PR in multiple repos used in our project. This provides a controlled environment with main-branch functionality from related repos plus changes from the specific PR. The environments sleep automatically to conserve resources and tear down automatically once a PR is merged.
We've also used Okteto to provide a short-term demo environment for salespeople when the functionality is not yet ready for prime time, but can be made available for demo.
All-in-all it's a very useful tool with a great support team.

Growth enabler
Katana has evolved beyond the limitations of traditional local development environments, where the entire ecosystem was once hosted on a single PC or localhost setup. Today, engineers can spin up specific environments tailored to the areas of the product they need to work on, significantly improving development efficiency and reducing resource overhead.
Our partnership with Okteto has been key in this transformation. The collaboration with Okteto has been seamless, with their team consistently going above and beyond to provide guidance and support. Their proactive approach and dedication to customer success has been noticeable.
As an early adopter of Okteto, I want to extend a special thanks to Pablo, whose ongoing support and expertise have been invaluable in helping us scale and optimize our development processes over the years.
