I was testing Skaffod and It is a great tool for microservices development. But I do not find any tutorial on how to use it with Java. Is there any support to Maven builds?
Skaffold now supports JIB out of the box which will be more efficient than multistage Dockerfile building! Check out the JIB Maven example in Skaffold.
There is a discussion going on about adding support for Java apps here, you can very much use Docker multistage build with Skaffold. A probably working example is available here
Your build portion of Skaffold file will look something like:
apiVersion: skaffold/v1alpha2
kind: Config
build:
tagPolicy:
dateTime:
format: 2006-01-02_15-04-05.999_MST
timezone: Local
artifacts:
- imageName: <repo>/<image>
workspace: ./appdirIn the appdir - you can use a multistage Dockerfile and integrate with rest of the workflow. Multistage Dockefile will build artefact in one stage and create a container using the artefact of the first stage.
