Scaling E-Commerce with Kubernetes: Deploy Web Apps
In this project, I’ll walk you through how to use Docker and Kubernetes to deploy and scale a high-performance e-commerce application. The goal is to design a resilient and scalable platform capable of handling dynamic traffic demands efficiently. We’ll cover:
• Containerising applications using Docker for portability and efficiency.
• Setting up Kubernetes deployments and services to ensure high availability.
• Configuring horizontal pod autoscaling to manage traffic spikes.
• Optimizing resource allocation with requests, limits, and affinity rules.
• Testing and implementing failure recovery mechanisms to maintain uptime.
By the end of this project, you’ll know how to deploy and manage production-ready e-commerce platforms with Kubernetes. This project is ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, and anyone looking to master container orchestration for scalable infrastructure. Some experience with web development, networking, YAML files, and command-line operations is recommended to ensure a smoother learning experience.
