Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll help takeout delivery company FTGO Inc. take their first steps in moving to a microservices-based architecture. You’ll begin by creating Kubernetes manifests that enable you to deploy your services and their required infrastructures, such as databases, within a cluster environment. You'll use the package manager Helm to seamlessly install and manage infrastructure services like Postgres and Apache Kafka and use kind (Kubernetes in Docker) to create a local Kubernetes cluster that runs on your machine. Finally, you’ll see how GitHub Actions can automate your testing process.

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