Inner Loop: Build & Load API
When asked to "build and load the api", "deploy my changes", or similar requests to update the running cluster with new Go code, execute the following sequence:
1. Build the image
The user prefers podman. Build the Dockerfile from the projects/ directory:
cd projects/
podman build -t project-api:latest .
2. Load the image into the local cluster
Push the newly built image into the nodes of the running kind cluster (which was stood up by setup-helm.sh):
kind load docker-image project-api:latest --name project-api-cluster-helm
(Note: even though the user prefers podman, kind load docker-image relies on the podman-docker compatibility layer which is installed on the user's system).
3. Restart the deployment
Trigger a rollout restart of the API server so Kubernetes pulls the fresh image:
kubectl --context kind-project-api-cluster-helm rollout restart deployment project-api -n project-api-system
