Kubernetes Deployment

Take Backstage from Docker development to production Kubernetes deployment following the official Backstage documentation. Deploy PostgreSQL using Kubernetes manifests, build a custom Backstage Docker image, and deploy to Kubernetes with proper secrets management and service configuration.

You'll learn to:

• Verify Kubernetes cluster health and available resources
• Deploy PostgreSQL using Kubernetes manifests (secrets, PV/PVC, deployment, service)
• Build custom Backstage Docker images using the recommended host build approach
• Deploy Backstage to Kubernetes with proper environment variable injection
• Access Backstage using kubectl port-forwarding
• Verify complete integration between Backstage and PostgreSQL

This lab follows the official Backstage Kubernetes deployment guide, teaching you production-ready deployment practices without Helm abstractions - giving you full control over every aspect of the deployment.
