Cloud-Native Microservices Platform 🚀

Overview 📋

The Cloud-Native Microservices Platform is an exemplary project demonstrating a modern approach to building and deploying scalable, resilient applications using Kubernetes, Docker, and various CI/CD and monitoring tools. This platform is designed to showcase best practices in cloud-native development, including microservices architecture, containerization, automated deployments, and observability.

Features 🌟

• Microservices Architecture: Modular design for easy maintenance, scalability, and resilience.
• Kubernetes Deployment: Leveraging Kubernetes for orchestration, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
• Automated CI/CD: Using GitHub Actions for continuous integration and delivery workflows.
• Monitoring and Logging: Integration with Prometheus, Grafana, and the EFK stack (Elasticsearch, Fluentd, Kibana) for monitoring and logging.

Getting Started 🚀

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Kubernetes cluster (Minikube, Docker Desktop, or a cloud provider-managed Kubernetes service)
• Helm (optional, for easier deployment management)
• Git

Installation

Clone the Repository

git clone <repository-url>
cd cloud-native-microservices-platform

Build and Push Docker Images 🐳

Optional: This step is optional if you're using pre-built images.

Getting Started

To build Docker images for each microservice, navigate to the microservice directory and execute the following commands:

docker build -t <your-registry>/<service-name>:<tag> .
docker push <your-registry>/<service-name>:<tag>

Deploy to Kubernetes 🚀

For each microservice and infrastructure component (Prometheus, Grafana, EFK), apply the Kubernetes manifests or use Helm charts:

kubectl apply -f infra/kubernetes/dev/<service-deployment-file>

Or using Helm

helm install <release-name> infra/helm/<service-chart>

Accessing the Services 🚀
