Tilt

Local Kubernetes development with no stress.

Tilt helps you develop your microservices locally. Run tilt up to start working on your services in a complete dev environment configured for your team.

Tilt watches your files for edits, automatically builds your container images, and applies any changes to bring your environment up-to-date in real-time. Think docker build && kubectl apply or docker-compose up.

Watch: Tilt in Two Minutes

Install Tilt

Complete Tilt User Guide

Download the Tilt binary on the github releases page.

Tilt expects that you already have Docker and kubectl installed. Alternately, you can skip Kubernetes altogether and run Tilt with your pre-existing docker-compose.yml. Read the more detailed Installation Guide to help you tilt up quickly.

Configure Your Workflow to Share With Your Team

Configure Tilt with a Tiltfile, written in a small subset of Python called Starlark.

To get started, check out the tutorial or dive into the API reference.

Telemetry and Privacy

We're a small company trying to make Tilt awesomer. We can do this better if we understand which features people are using and which bugs people are running into. You can enable sending telemetry data to https://events.windmill.build in the UI or by running tilt analytics opt in. It really helps us!

The data is meant to be about your use of Tilt (e.g., which Tiltfile or Web UI features do you use), not collecting data about you or your project. It's possible that some of the data we collect could include snippets of data about your project (e.g. that you have a service named deathray-backend or an error message that includes the string it failed to parse). We try to avoid this, but you should probably not opt-in if you're working on a classified project.

We will not resell or give away this data. (Data may be sent to third parties, like Datadog, but only to help us analyze the data.)

You can change your mind at any time by running tilt analytics opt <in|out> and restarting Tilt. Until you make a choice, Tilt will send a minimal amount of data (this helps us improve the installation/opting flow).

Tilt connects to other online services for purposes like finding and downloading product updates and resources.
