Node.js development with Skaffold file sync
Too Long; Didn't Read
<a href="https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold" target="_blank">Skaffold</a> is a command line tool to develop applications against a Kubernetes cluster (either a local Minikube or a remote cluster). Skaffold handles the build, push and deploy process of the image upon code change.
