Deploy and scale monolithic Go apps in Kubernetes clusters

Storm

A tool to deploy Go apps in kubernetes cluster

How it works

It works by creating/building application binary on the client side, this binary will be uploaded through http post-form request. On arrival to storm server, the following events takes place.

1. Uploaded binary is moved to a tmp folder along with a predefined Dockerfile
2. A docker image will be built for the app using the previously mentioned Dockerfile
3. The produced docker image is pushed to the provided docker registry
4. A kubernetes service is created at this point. A service of type LoadBalancer or NodePort is created depending on whether user specified the deployment to be test/local or production. A service type LoadBalancer is created for production and NodePort type is creating for test
5. A kubernetes deployment is created including all the necessary and user-defined environment variables
6. Repeat
