Google PM for Skaffold & Cloud Code here.
Glad to hear Skaffold & Cloud Code are working well for you.
I wanted to note for others that there is a Cloud Code JetBrains plugin that also adds a workflow based on Skaffold to IDEs such as IntelliJ, PyCharm, etc. as well. Just like the Skaffold and the VS Code plugin, it also works with any K8s cluster.
