if you ever wanna try it again - use kappal. you will get a full k8s but with the UX of docker compose.
So is any of this tested?
With a single Tilt file combined with a docker compose file, almost all of the infrastructure you need is configured on a local machine. It also supports running kubernetes (most of the docs are around this), but you do not necessarily need to it it.My goto when I have more then 2 docker containers/services I want to keep changing code for. Some teams I work with usually have 20 such containers for local dev.
And yes, you can even nest Tilt files and even write normal python if you want to mix things up.

It takes ur standard docker compose file and runs it transparently in kubernetes (k3s actually). So ur devs don't have cognitive dissonance between testing ur stack locally on ur laptop and making it work on kubernetes in production.
It is primarily meant as a dev tool on ur laptop, and as a replacement for docker compose.
