Kool.dev + Open Source: moving forward Developer Experience (original) (raw)

Developer Experience Matters

Moving forward DXthrough Open Source

We are a community of developers passionate about open source anddeveloper experience. We always seek new contributors to help us build the best open-source projects.

An open-source project born from the need to provide a better developer experience

The kool CLI

In the center of our efforts to improve DX, the kool CLI enables developers to work with Docker containers for local development environments. It offers a convergent approach to software development, where you can use the same tools and practices for local development and future cloud deployment.

Ecosystem that follows

We also have a growing ecosystem of companion tools and helpers that help you improve your DX, all of them open-source and available on GitHub. We always seek new contributors to help us build the best open-source projects. We have optimized Docker images for PHP, Node, Java, and we got Helm charts, useful containerized microservices, VPN/SSH tunneling through containers, and more.

Explore all of our open-source initiatives

It's a way to help evolve and spread our approaches for a better Developer Experience to a larger audience, supporting developers every step of the way from local development to cloud deployment.
