☸️ Deployment with Kubernetes (kind)

Prerequisites:

• kind installed
• kubectl CLI installed and configured

Using kind for Kubernetes Deployment:

1. Create a kind cluster: kind create cluster --name nomnom-system

2. Load Docker images into the kind cluster: kind load docker-image <image-name> --name nomnom-system

3. Navigate to the Kubernetes manifests directory: cd kubernetes

4. Deploy the application: kubectl apply -f .

5. Monitor the deployment:

   kubectl get pods -n nomnom-system
   kubectl get services -n nomnom-system

6. Access the application:

   If using kind, forward the API Gateway port: kubectl port-forward service/api-gateway 8080:80 -n nomnom-system

   Then open in your browser: http://localhost:8080

📝 Notes:

• Ensure all .env files are properly configured before deployment.
• For production:
  • Use a managed Kubernetes service
  • Store secrets using Kubernetes Secrets
  • Use TLS, ingress, and monitoring tools.
