Thomas Vitale, Kevin Dubois
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · Session
This talk, "From 0 To Production-Grade With Kubernetes Native Development," by Kevin Dubois and Thomas Vitale, delves into the evolving landscape of software development for **Kubernetes** environments. It addresses the fundamental shift from traditional application deployment, often characterized by large, resource-intensive application servers, to a **Kubernetes native development** paradigm. The core premise is that applications running on Kubernetes clusters must be designed for rapid startup, efficient resource utilization, and resilience, which necessitates a different approach from developers.
