Instead of focusing on optimizations, many Kubernetes experts are shifting toward the fundamentals of platform engineering, where the goal becomes building an infrastructure that lets developers deploy software faster. By lowering the cognitive load required to productively push bug-free code to production, DevOps teams leverage Kubernetes to create a self-service environment around deploying code. Developers get the tools they need for high velocity and high quality, all without needing a deep understanding of operations.
The good news is that DevOps teams working in Kubernetes have viable ways to build their confidence using tools, platforms and philosophies that help them leverage validation, previewing and GitOps.
For example: Because of the overall popularity of JavaScript frameworks, https://eslint.org/ is one of the most well-used validation tools today.
