If you have sidecar containers that feed your regular containers, or you need to test a Dask KubeCluster, or deploy Helm charts, this kind of lets you work with the real lifecycle. Tilt is kinda better at watching for code changes in all your containers than docker-compose too, and has a nice UI to watch logs and see what succeeded or failed.
Tilt can also help validate things like:
- Service discovery
- Volume mounts
- Ingress and Certificates
- Metrics scraping and configuration
- Dashboards
It’s really quite powerful and replaces the need to mock things out with docker compose. If you’re deploying to Kubernetes, Tilt gives you the option to avoid “development-only” setups like docker compose.
