KtConnect is a CLI toolkit that helps developers work with Kubernetes dev environments more efficiently. It lets you connect to remote cluster networks, exchange workloads with local apps, mesh traffic to local versions, and preview local services inside the cluster.
Use cases
- access a remote kubernetes cluster network from my laptop
- redirect cluster traffic to my locally running service
- debug a kubernetes service locally without redeploying
- expose my local app to the cluster as a service
- run a subset of requests through my local code with istio mesh
When to choose
- you develop services deployed on Kubernetes and want fast local iteration
- you need to test local changes against real cluster dependencies
- you use Istio and want selective traffic meshing to your machine
When to avoid
- you don't use Kubernetes for development
- you need a general-purpose VPN unrelated to Kubernetes
- you want a GUI-based cloud IDE experience
