Microservices Deployment

A production-grade Kubernetes deployment of a 3-tier application, complete with Ingress, TLS, and Autoscaling.

Kubernetes Docker Nginx Ingress Cert-Manager

The Challenge

Most tutorials only show you how to run a single container. In the real world, you deal with distributed systems. In this project, you will take a raw Python backend, a React frontend, and a Postgres database, and orchestrate them to communicate securely within a cluster.

What you will build:

  • ✅ Dockerize multi-stage builds for efficiency.
  • ✅ Write modular K8s YAML (Deployments, Services, Secrets).
  • ✅ Configure an Ingress Controller for routing traffic.
  • ✅ Implement Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA).

Why Employers Care

This project proves you understand not just "how to run a pod," but how to connect, secure, and expose a real application architecture. It is the gold standard for Junior Cloud Engineers.
