Remote Development over Kubernetes with Visual Studio Code and Okteto

This example shows how to leverage Okteto to launch a remote development environment in Kubernetes, and use Visual Studio Code to develop directly in it.

This demo targets Go 1.25 or newer.

Run the demo

Install and configure the latest Okteto CLI, then start the development container:

okteto up hello-world

From the Okteto shell, run the app:

go run main.go

The app is available at localhost:8080.

Debug from VS Code

Inside the Okteto shell, start Delve:

dlv debug --headless --listen=:2345 --log --api-version=2

Then run the Connect to okteto configuration in VS Code.
