What if Kubernetes Was a Compiler Target? - From Monolithic Code to Distributed Applications

Explore a conference talk examining how multi-tier programming concepts could revolutionize Kubernetes development. Learn about the potential of treating Kubernetes as a compiler target, bridging the gap between traditional multi-tier programming and modern distributed systems. Discover how a monolithic codebase could be automatically transformed into independently-deployable units running on Kubernetes, contrasting with current service-oriented architecture practices where applications consist of hundreds of separate components written in various languages. Gain insights into a prototype "Kubernetes compiler" that demonstrates this innovative approach, potentially simplifying the development of distributed applications while maintaining the benefits of Kubernetes orchestration.
