I think it won't give you much in Dev but can give your more in production. We have the following work flow
1. Use Docker images for our applications where we can run them locally by mounting in a config file pointing to local db or dev cluster db etc
2. We then use CI to build new docker images and push them to our registry
3. Using Kubernetes deployment yaml files we then deploy the new versions to the cluster with rolling upgrades.
This can be combined with auto scaling
For config we have a Kubernetes ConfigMap in the cluster which then gets mounted into the docker containers when they start.
My suggestions would be for you to check out Googles Hosted Kubernetes which removes a lot of the headache of getting up and running.
