Uuuuh not using YAML. Controversial. (in the docker/k8s ecosphere, where YAML seems ubiquitous) I don't love YAML though I am not sure Starlark looks any more readable. YACL => Yet another config language...?

That's not what it says. Maybe next time you can try to understand before you comment.

And YAML sucks, by the way.

is there anything working with helm in the similar way ?

There are at least two options that work with helm, google's skaffold (https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold) and microsoft's draft (https://github.com/Azure/draft). The former supports helm along with kustomize and just plain old kubectl yaml files, draft seems to be tied to helm.

Personally I have used skaffold with success, and draft paniced on me so I stopped playing with it.

My biggest problem with local k8s dev is building containers. I’m on macOS. Does this solution address that?

Is the problem with building containers that you don't have a Dockerfile and you don't want to spend time making one?

Draft does that pretty well with Draftpacks, in my experience if there is a Draftpack for what you're using then the Dockerfile that draft spits out will get you pretty close to a workable container image with basically no effort, or sometimes even all the way there.

I'm trying to understand what you mean that building containers is a problem. Is it the procedural act of actually building and rebuilding the container that is the problem? (Draft handles that too...)

Edit: According to the Tilt tutorial, yes, tilt will build your containers. Eg: https://docs.tilt.build/first_config.html

This would be a stopper for me simply because all k8s config my team does is in yaml
