I never used tilt, but it looks very useful for anything that needs kube API to work, like some operator or something that needs to discover configuration from config maps.
otherwise I think it's meant for systems where system that you need for testing is to big to work on your local machine.
Yes, Tilt really shines when you’re testing interactions with Kubernetes, such a APIs. But also things like your services’ ingress configuration and metrics scraping.
By default, Tilt is actually intended for local development using kind, minikube or other similar tooling. It supports developing against a multi-node cluster but it requires extra configuration and slows down iteration time.
