    Kubernetes setup

    Overview

    A containerised microservices architecture on Kubernetes with CI/CD, tracing and monitoring wired in from day one.

    My role

    Set up the services, deployment pipelines and observability, so the client's smaller team can operate it without a dedicated platform engineer.

    The problem

    The existing deploy was 'push to the server and hope'. Downtime appeared without warning and rolled back slowly.

    What I built
    • Dockerised Node.js services
    • Kubernetes manifests + HPA scaling
    • CI/CD from push to production
    • Prometheus + Grafana dashboards
    Key features
    Auto-scaling based on traffic patternsService mesh with Istio for secure communicationDistributed tracing with JaegerInfrastructure as Code with TerraformBlue-green deployments for zero downtime
    Technology stack
    DockerKubernetesNode.jsPostgreSQLAWSTerraformPrometheusGrafana
    Implementation details
    • Blue-green deployments keep releases reversible.
    • Terraform keeps the infra as code so the setup survives a rebuild.
    Outcome

    Running steadily in production for the client. No verified traffic numbers to quote, so the value is the deploy-pipeline reliability itself.
