Developers don’t care about Kubernetes clusters

Most cloud-native tools obsess over clusters. Not developers. That means poor support for things like promoting code between environments or deploying by feature - not just by repo. The author pushes for a better way: platforms that hide the Kubernetes mess and tame CI/CD. Think feature-driven deplo.. read more
