Empowering Developers in Cloud Native Kubernetes Environments for Rapid Innovation

This conference talk from DevConf IN 2025 explores how to empower developers working in cloud-native Kubernetes environments. Presented by Mohit Vardhani and Ashish Sharma, the 35-minute session addresses the challenges faced by development teams building modern, distributed microservices with Kubernetes. Learn how Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces, built on the open source Eclipse Che project, provides consistent, secure, and zero-configuration development environments using Kubernetes and containers. Discover how this solution transforms the developer experience by delivering pre-configured environments customized for specific team requirements, featuring integrated IDEs, automated dependency management, and seamless CI/CD pipeline integration. The presentation demonstrates practical implementation techniques that eliminate common "it works on my machine" issues, reduce onboarding time, and enhance team collaboration. Particularly valuable for developers seeking efficient coding environments, DevOps professionals integrating development workflows, team leaders looking to improve productivity, and organizations modernizing their development practices. Slides and additional resources are available on the DevConf website.
