Applying Skaffold best practices

In this section, we will learn about Skaffold best practices that you, as a developer, can take advantage of, to either speed up your deployment in the inner or outer development loop or use some flags to make things easier while using Skaffold. Let's begin:

• While working with multiple microservices applications deployed to Kubernetes, sometimes, it's challenging to create a single skaffold.yaml configuration file for each application. In those common cases, you can create skaffold.yaml scoped for each application, and then run the skaffold dev or run command independently for each application. You can even iterate both the applications together in a single Skaffold session. Let's assume we have a frontend app and a backend app for both of them; your single skaffold.yaml file should look like the following:

  apiVersion: skaffold/v2beta18
  kind: Config
  requires:
  - path: ./front-end-app
  - path: ./backend-app
