Developing as a Team for Kubernetes with Nix and Flox

In this workshop, Leigh, Tanja, and Nick will show a GitOps workflow for both your team's laptops and Kubernetes clusters.

We'll cover the basics of Nix and Flox, a collaborative interface for using Nix as a team.

Attendees will work together in the hands-on portion to:
- bootstrap a frontend and backend project with Javascript, Go, and Postgres
- declare cross-platform tools and dependencies for build and development
- containerize their build in a Nix-native way
- use GitOps via Flux to promote their service to Kubernetes clusters with zero-downtime deploys
