Local Development with a Remote K8S Cluster

Problem

As the number of services in an application grows, it becomes untenable to deploy the entire application on your laptop.

Solution

Deploy your entire application onto a remote Kubernetes cluster (one which has enough horsepower to run entire workload), and locally develop a single one of those services at a time.

This is possible through tools such as Telepresence:

Developing and debugging services locally using telepresence

It ends up looking something roughly like this:

Deliverables

The scope of this issue is to create a working example of using Telepresence. It's likely best to follow the Quick Start, and then apply those ideas to flock.
