The sentence that keeps getting shortened is this one: Flisk and Helm are not alternatives.

tdk up starts Docker containers on your machine through Tilt. helm upgrade creates Deployments and Services in a cluster. service.json describes the local service. values.yaml configures Kubernetes objects. The files share a few words. They are not a translation.

The project's Helm note says there is no export command. tdk config verify checks generated project files against .tdk/project.json . It does not lint service.json , and it does not lint Helm values. tdk doctor checks whether this machine can run the local stack. A green doctor is not a green chart.
