How to Deploy Kotlin Applications to Kubernetes Without Dockerfiles

Discover how to deploy Kotlin applications to Kubernetes without using Dockerfiles in this 12-minute conference talk from PlatformCon 2023. Learn to create Docker images using only Kotlin and Gradle as Lothar Schulz, Head of Engineering at Miro, demonstrates the process with a Ktor application. Explore a streamlined approach for instant deployment to Kubernetes clusters directly from the command line, where every code change triggers the creation and deployment of a new Docker image. Gain insights into improving developer cycle time by implementing a workflow that includes automatic Docker image creation, instant Kubernetes deployment, and command-line service display. This talk is ideal for engineers looking to enhance their deployment processes and reduce time from local code commit to Kubernetes cluster deployment.
