Faster Development for Cloud Native Applications

The inner development loop refers to the process from writing code to committing it in a version control system, preparing for CI, and ultimately deploying to production. With cloud native applications like Kubernetes, developers need to manage external dependencies, build containers, and configure orchestration, which can slow down the dev loop. This article discusses solutions to speed up the inner development loop, including hiring more engineers, reducing integration of feature work with mocks, stubs, and service virtualization, building your own tools, and adopting new technologies like Telepresence by Ambassador Labs.
