Review on Tilt Dev by Ryan Nguyen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A solid solution that gets outta your hair

The UI makes it really easy to add and manage nodes in Tilt, and the whole experience overall is very polished - including the web admin. The team behind Tilt is also constantly adding new features and improving the experience. It would be nice to have a way to easily roll back node additions from the UI if things go wrong. I've been using Tilt to manage several Kubernetes-based nodes in production, which has been working well. It allows me to easily provision new nodes, manage container images, and scale. This all makes sense - but the UI is clunky, and I wish it were less so. Tilt does a great job of supporting other cloud providers, too. The ability to deploy to multiple cloud providers, the ability to use kubectl for both on-prem and cloud providers, and the ability to use Helm for configuration management. The deployment process is a bit clunky, and I wish it was more intuitive. As a SRE, I spend a lot of time deploying new services and new microservices in the cloud. Tilt makes this process much easier, and it's a great tool.

Pros
  • Easy onboarding; good documentation.
  • Works with many different clouds (Azure/AWS) without any additional work required by you as an end user or developer! Yay!! :)
Cons
  • Not completely clear how exactly resources are created when we update our values
  • If something goes horribly awry during creation / deletion then there isn't necessarily going make anything better at that point i
