About:
Ksync is a developer tool that synchronizes local files with those inside running Kubernetes pods. It enables real-time, bi-directional file syncing, which streamlines the development workflow by eliminating the need for manual container image rebuilds and redeployments for every code change.

Key Features:

Real-time bi-directional file synchronization
Automatic container and pod discovery
Support for both file watching and polling modes
Works with existing local development environments

Use Cases:

Live reloading of applications running inside Kubernetes during development
Debugging services by editing code directly in the container context
Rapidly iterating on configuration files or scripts within a cluster

Alternatives:

skaffold – Skaffold handles the entire container development lifecycle, while Ksync focuses specifically on file synchronization.
tilt – Tilt provides a broader development environment framework with UI, whereas Ksync is a more focused file-syncing utility.
