7. Inner Loop
The inner loop consists of local coding,
building, running, and testing the
application—all activities that you, as a
developer, can control.
The inner loop could happen mostly on
your laptop
Outer Loop
The outer loop consists of the larger team
processes that your code flows through on its
way to the cluster: code reviews, integration
tests, security and compliance, and so on
The outer loop happens on shared servers and
runs in containers, and is often automated
with continuous integration/continuous
delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

9. Inner Dev Loop b4 Containers/Kubernetes
If a typical developer codes for
- 360 minutes (6 hours) a day,
- with a traditional local iterative
development loop of 5 minutes
- 3 coding,
- 1 building
- 1 testing inspecting, and
- 10-20 seconds for
committing code —
- they can expect to make ~70
iterations of their code per day.
- any one of these iterations
could be a release candidate.
- the only “developer tax” being
paid here is for the commit
process, which is negligible.

10. The containerized inner dev loop
requires a number of new steps:
● packaging code in containers
● writing a manifest to specify how
Kubernetes should run the
application
● pushing the container to the
registry
● deploying containers in
Kubernetes
This new container build step is a
hidden tax, which is quite expensive.
