Backend deployment

Overview

This repository contains the necessary files for deploying the backend application to a kubernetes environment.

Prerequisites

Before deploying the backend application, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • Kubernetes cluster with the following components:
    • ingress controller
    • storage class
  • kubectl installed (kustomize is usually bundled)

Deployment Steps

Initial deployment

To deploy the backend application, follow these steps:

  1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/your-repo.git
  2. Apply the kustomization: kubectl apply -k .

Rolling updates

Since the deployment uses the latest tag for the backend application, we simply need to trigger a rolling update which will pull the latest image from the registry. To do this, run the following command:

kubectl -n anyway-backend rollout restart deployment/nav-backend

Configuration

The kustomization allows for easy configuration of the backend application. To customize the deployment, modify the kustomization.yaml file.

Memcached

The backend application requires a memcached instance. By default, the kustomization deploys this instance, as configured under memcached/. To disable this, comment out the memcached overlay in the kustomization.yaml file.
