Level 1 | Hall Entrance N11

In this workshop, Leigh, Tanja, and Nick will show a Nix GitOps workflow for both your team's laptops and Kubernetes clusters.

The dev workflows made possible by Nix and the ops workflows pioneered by both Nix and GitOps on K8s extend the story of repeatability further left than before.

Attendees will work hands-on to:

- use JS, Go, & Postgres

- declare cross-platform dependencies for build and dev

- containerize their app with Nix

- use GitOps to deploy their code to Kubernetes with zero-downtime

Making packaging collaborative and cross-platform opens up new maintenance possibilities.

We'll close with:

- Continuous Builds

- Patching

- Reproducibility and Caching

Teams can save hours of debugging by declaring their local dependencies with Nix alongside their code.
This has a notable symmetry to the benefits of GitOps in cloud-native operations.

Expect to leave this workshop with the confidence to harmonize Nix with Kubernetes and change the way you (and your teams) work.
