D) kaniko and Tekton are great too, but they might be a bit more complex to set up compared to Minikube and Skaffold.

What about D) kaniko and Tekton? They are also good tools for building and testing containers locally.

I agree with C), Minikube allows for local deployment that emulates the production environment.

I think C) Minikube and Skaffold would be a good choice for testing the changes locally.

Haha, Mitsue, you make a good point. It's like the age-old debate - 'will it work on my machine?'. At least with Minikube and Skaffold, we'd be closer to the real thing.

Ah yes, the old 'Docker Compose and dockerd' trick. Works like a charm! Although, I do wonder if it really emulates the production environment well enough.

That's a good point, Mei. Maybe Docker Compose and dockerd would be a simpler solution. We can test the container locally without the overhead of a full Kubernetes cluster.
