devex tools
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/tutorial develop your project inside a running container helps in building a new docker file, as we can try the commands inside before adding to the docker file
folks, this could be annoying.. but I would love to understand better about the go-to devex-tools to use & learn from the experts... please share anything that can help eg: after knowing about podman, my perspective of running containers without daemon, changed. would appreciate any inputs as i'm new and happy to be here to learn from you all

A good place to start may be Backstage or other IDPs (Internal Developer Platform/Portals)

There is the landscape that is curated by the community for platform components: https://platformengineering.org/platform-tooling In regard to “go-to devex-tools” - for me this is just a question to generic. I could probably spend hours writing stuff down about tools for cases, other tools for invariants of those cases and then more tools for edge cases. The time invest for that would be super high and I still wouldn’t know if I would even help you with that because I might be writing about the wrong cases to start with. Would it be possible for you to narrow down what your looking for and what you want to achieve?

we have a situation, where we need to orchestrate multiple services in group, and contain them in thier dedicated networks, and exposed to the users who need them for internal use background: • service a, b, c inter dependent on each other • should be built, deployed and exposed by using a ci-cd • we already have a ci-cd for building the images question • what tools can best serve the need of running these services in cluster and expose them securely and also help in scaling eg (scaling the memory , cpu etc) • based on the research, it advices to use certain tools kube-api, terraform etc. need the community inputs, open source examples etc • have some experience only with some of the tools, and would like to better understand before attempting to do a setup acceptance criteria • provided the user has the branch name / names, he should be able to setup the services completely from scratch with a singly api / build done • build artifact -> build image -> use docker-compose to orchestrate need inputs • how to scale and orchestrate at high level • what services can better play in this usecase (ecs for containers ?) • what tools can support the best / better for an enterprise ready product please share your thoughts on this..
