Kubernetes

Production-grade Kubernetes: Deployments, Services, Gateway API, security hardening, and debugging.

Before You Deploy to Kubernetes

Answer these questions:

• Does the app need horizontal scaling (3+ replicas)? → Kubernetes
• Is it a single-instance app with simple needs? → Docker Compose or VPS
• Is the team familiar with Kubernetes? → Proceed. If not, consider managed (EKS, GKE, AKS)
• Does the app need advanced networking? → Kubernetes + Gateway API
• Is the infrastructure budget tight? → Single-node k3s or Docker Compose for dev
