Hello everyone, I have an update to share. *What was failing* During local startup, I kept hitting `ERRCONNECT` errors because the application couldn’t reach required services when I used `tilt up`. I am on Windows. *How I debugged and fixed it* • I used `kubectl port-forward` to expose the services to `localhost`. • I ran the backend and frontend separately. *Current workflow* • *Terminal 1:* Kubernetes (apply, verify, and port-forwards) • *Terminal 2:* Backend dev server • *Terminal 3:* Frontend dev server *Result:* The backend connects cleanly (no `ERRCONNECT`), the frontend loads correctly, and I can now iterate locally while continuing to rely on Kubernetes for infrastructure.
