Hi I'm not sure if you saw my comment below, but this is 100% the usecase Sugarkube [1] was designed for. Depending on where you are in setting things up it might save you time to give it a try. There are some non-trivial tutorials [2] and sample projects you can use to kickstart your development. It does only currently work with EKS, Kops and Minikube though so wouldn't be suitable if you're using something else to create your K8s cluster.
