Draft: Streamlined Kubernetes Development

NOTE: Draft is experimental and does not have a stable release yet.

Draft makes it easy to build applications that run on Kubernetes. Draft targets the "inner loop" of a developer's workflow: as they hack on code, but before code is committed to version control.

Using Draft is as simple as:

1. draft create to containerize your application based on Draft packs
2. draft up to deploy your application to a Kubernetes dev sandbox, accessible via a public URL
3. Use a local editor to modify the application, with changes deployed to Kubernetes in seconds

Once the developer is happy with changes made via Draft, they commit and push to version control, after which a continuous integration (CI) system takes over. Draft builds upon Kubernetes Helm and the Kubernetes Chart format, making it easy to construct CI pipelines from Draft-enabled applications.
