The app is designed to run on Kubernetes (both locally on Minikube and "Docker for
Desktop", as well as on the cloud with GKE).

> 💡 Recommended if you're planning to develop the application.
1. Install tools to run a Kubernetes cluster locally:
- kubectl (can be installed via `gcloud components install kubectl`)
- One of the tools that deploy Kubernetes cluster locally:
- Minikube (Linux/Mac/Wimdows). It's the open source, cross-platrorm tool, developed by the Kubernetes community. Installation instructions and documentation can be found [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube).
- Docker for Desktop (Mac/Windows): It provides Kubernetes support as [noted
here](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/kubernetes/).
- Minikube (Linux/Mac/Windows). It's the open source, cross-platrorm tool, developed by the Kubernetes community. Installation instructions and documentation can be found [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube).
- [skaffold](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold/#installation)
1. Launch the local Kubernetes cluster:
- Launch Minikube with `minikube start` command. More details can be found [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube#quickstart).
- Launch “Docker for Desktop”. Go to Preferences and choose “Enable Kubernetes”.
1. Launch the local Kubernetes cluster with `minikube start` command. More details can be found [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube#quickstart).
1. Run `kubectl get nodes` to verify that the local cluster works properly.
1. Run `skaffold run` (first time will be slow, it can take ~20-30 minutes).
