Some notes here:

• These tools have a build and deploy to Kubernetes. That can be a local-cluster, but you MUST manage and maintain a cluster.
• They have auto-reload in some manner. E.g. copying source files into the container. This is a half measure vs something like JDBG hot-reload.
• Config is in one or moreThingfile or thing.yaml. These are usually declarative (YAML), sometimes are programs (Tilt).
• Some of them bring CI into the loop.
