Hey, I'm CEO of Tilt. Thanks for the feedback. The problem this solves is that distsys devs don't get enough feedback. You say you use docker-compose. Compared to docker-compose, Tilt has two advantages: 1) It updates the services as you edit them 2) Its UI makes it easy to see where errors are occurring, without you having to play 20 questions on the command-line or worry about things scrolling off-screen. The Tiltf…

It looks like your basically recompiling/rebuilding the container and just updating what’s running (in what I assume is a k8s cluster on OS X). This all seems like a terrible idea. No way devs want to wait for a container rebuild to see updated code changes, that’s highly unproductive. They usually don’t run k8s locally either, because it’s an abstraction later they hardly want/need to concern themselves with while w…

Docker containers/lxc require Linux. They are a Linux technology.

As weird as it sounds, Microsoft had implemented the full namespaces stack in Server 2016 (unavailable in Win10 as the base for native containers is Server where kernel differs a bit), which Docker supports (and k8s in alpha/early beta). Docker switched from LXC to containerd in 2016.
