Those are really good questions, we have similar requests from our users. We don't have general answers yet, but let me explain a few solutions we have in place. Data: data is hard. There are teams that workout the problem with fixtures and a database per developer. We also have a PoC for cloning namespaces and its data using Velero (this way, you can clone staging on your own developer namespace). We also have teams that have a dev database for all the frontend developers... Service dependencies: we push to define your dependencies using one or more Helm charts. This way, developers have a one-click experience to deploy the full stack on their namespaces. Once the app is running, developers use the Okteto CLI to put on dev mode any service and start synching their local code changes. Some parts of the stack might be shared by all the developers in a common namespace. Third-party APIs: this is also a wide spectrum, but our experience says it is easier to integrate them at the cluster level that in every developer workstation.
