Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room E

Being an application developer in the cloud native age is challenging. Developers new to cloud native who land on the CNCF Landscape feel overwhelmed. When using a platform that doesn’t consider the developer experience, things can get even worse. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The solution lies in the cloud native ecosystem itself.

This session covers 5 friction points that developers face and presents solutions with cloud native tools.

- Unreproducible Dev Environment. Do you need a cloud environment? Or can you run everything locally?
- Inefficient Project Onboarding and Collaboration. How do teams share configurations, tools, and common practices?
- Cumbersome Inner Dev Loop. How do you achieve efficient development workflows?
- Complex Service Integrations. How can you integrate external services without worrying about infrastructure concerns?
- Kubernetes Steep Learning Curve. Do you need Kubernetes in your local environment? How can you build production-ready containers?
