Helm vs Skaffold: What are the differences?
Developers describe Helm as "The Kubernetes Package Manager". Helm is the best way to find, share, and use software built for Kubernetes. On the other hand, Skaffold is detailed as "Easy and Repeatable Kubernetes Development". Skaffold is a command line tool that facilitates continuous development for Kubernetes applications. You can iterate on your application source code locally then deploy to local or remote Kubernetes clusters. Skaffold handles the workflow for building, pushing and deploying your application. It can also be used in an automated context such as a CI/CD pipeline to leverage the same workflow and tooling when moving applications to production.
Helm and Skaffold belong to "Container Tools" category of the tech stack.
Helm and Skaffold are both open source tools. Helm with 12.6K GitHub stars and 4.06K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Skaffold with 7.16K GitHub stars and 589 GitHub forks.
