I work with Docker and Kubernetes do my dev environment is actually in my cluster rather than locally. I use Okteto to manage this dev env so I can even switch computers and all I need is the source code of my app and one 'okteto up' command, and I'm ready to go

I'm one of the creators of Okteto, thanks for the shout out!

We recently wrote a post on how to integrate Okteto with NodeJS apps, in case anybody wants to try it out: https://okteto.com/blog/how-to-develop-node-apps-in-kubernet...

I am currently using the following combination: - https://github.com/DarthSim/overmind for running whatever is needed inside a project which has multiple things (like rails and webpacker). It is great because it uses tmux. - A custom file (.dev-start) I put in my parent folder /project which describes what to execute in child folders (like /project/fe and /project/backend). Possible what this files does could be done…

Ah this looks interesting! Gonna take a look at this, thx!

This might be a little bit too overkill for my current needs, but I'll definitely keep this one in my bag! Thanks for sharing!
