Description

I've spent months building a platform to support my development of scalable web applications. In this video, I try to share the learning process. My personal website has a lot behind the scenes that most people cannot interact with. I've written up a few microservices and decided to deploy them on kubernetes. Some may say that what I've done is overkill - but it really does simplify the workflow once its setup (and I don't have to rewrite my codebase in the future!) The end result: - Kubernetes cluster on digital ocean.. 3 nodes, a load balancer, and persistent volume - nginx-ingress controller exposes services to the outside world (all other services are internal) Microservices: - jwt authentication server (security) - hangfire background processing server - MySQL database - mailer - front end There is still a lot of work to be done. While most services are scalable - the database is not. Currently, our database is a single instance. I think someday I will need to deploy a MySQL cluster to support replication, etc. This was a massive topic to cover in a single video so I could not explain everything, my hope is that people can take what they see and research further.
