Look inside

Takeout e-commerce company FTGO currently manages their Kubernetes microservices deployments from the command line. So there’s no record of who has deployed what, and it’s very difficult to reproduce past states. Your goal in this liveProject is to help them with a GitOps-based continuous deployment pipeline for their platform. You’ll utilize Flux to establish and build your pipeline and configure the Flagger tool to use the traffic management features of the Linkerd service mesh.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
