One of the biggest friction points in Kubernetes development is the feedback loop. Every configuration change usually requires a pod restart—until now.
Go-HotEnv solves this by enabling hot-reloadable environments in Go applications. By watching for atomic ConfigMap updates on the filesystem, your application can update its state in real-time without killing the process.
Key Benefits:
- Zero Downtime: Apply configuration changes instantly without restarts.
- Faster Development: Shorten the inner loop from minutes to seconds.
- Thread-Safe: Safely swap application state at runtime.
