Kubernetes Deployment for Zero Downtime

Image
Introduction In Kubernetes (K8s) , a Pod is the smallest resource unit used to run one or more containers during deployment. There are several ways to create a Pod : you can create it directly, use a ReplicationController , or a ReplicaSet . However, the most commonly used resource for managing Pods is the Deployment . When you use a Deployment , it actually creates a ReplicaSet to manage the Pods but comes with many additional benefits that support the deployment process. Some Advantages of Deployment : Ensures Pod Availability : It guarantees that the specified number of Pods are always running according to the configuration, automatically deploying additional Pods if any failures occur. Supports Restart and Undo Deployment : Allows you to easily restart or roll back to previous versions of your Deployment . Zero Downtime Deployment : When updating configurations or scaling Deployments , zero downtime is crucial. This means that new Pods are created while the old Pods are stil...

Deploy React Application to Google Kubernetes Engine

Introduction In this article, I will guide you through deploying a React Application to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) . Previously, I wrote an article about deploying a NodeJS Application to GKE , which you can refer to for some basic information before continuing. Steps to Follow The process is quite similar to deploying a NodeJS Application and includes the following steps: Create a React Application Build a Docker image Push the Docker image Deploy the Docker image to GKE You will notice that when working with Kubernetes , the main difference is in the step where you build the Docker image . Depending on the application you need to deploy, there are different ways to build the Docker image . However, the common point is that once you build the Docker image , you have completed almost half of the process. This is because the subsequent steps involving Kubernetes are entirely the same. Detailed Process 1. Create a React Application In this step, you can either use an existing R...

Deploy ReactJS application to Firebase in 5 minutes

Introduction Firebase Firebase is a product of Google that helps developers build, manage, and grow their apps easily. It’s designed to make app development faster and more secure. In this article, I'll guide you through deploying a ReactJS application on Firebase . Google provides Firebase hosting for free, offering stable speed and SSL certificates, making it ideal for creating HTTPS-supported websites. Creating a React Application Firstly, you need to create a React Application project or use an existing one. You can use tools like vite , create-react-app , or Nx/Nrwl . The project initialization process is straightforward and can be easily found. Here, I'll use Nx, a build system that provides various tools for developing projects in multiple programming languages. You can learn more about Nx/React here . After successfully initializing and running the React application, the result should look like this: Next, let's proceed to build the React application. If you...
