Complete TaskFlow Stack on Kubernetes Lab
Deploy the complete TaskFlow application to Kubernetes: frontend (2 replicas), backend (3 replicas), PostgreSQL StatefulSet, and Redis. Organize with namespaces and verify end-to-end functionality.
Lab Overview
🛠Lab from the Platform Engineering Bootcamp. Used in Week 8. Bootcamp landing page: https://academy.tekanaid.com/bootcamps/platform-engineering-bootcamp Parent course(s):
- Week 8: Kubernetes Fundamentals (slug: kubernetes-fundamentals)
🟡 Beta bootcamp lab. Hands-on instructions, check scripts, and solve scripts are in place. Lab is part of the running TaskFlow project that grows across all 21 weeks of the bootcamp.
This is the capstone lab for Week 8 where you deploy the ENTIRE TaskFlow stack to Kubernetes. You'll create a dedicated namespace, deploy all four tiers with proper networking, expose the frontend via NodePort for local browser access, and verify the complete application works end-to-end.
You'll add logging to the backend showing database connection details to verify Kubernetes DNS service discovery, document all kubectl commands in a README, and celebrate seeing TaskFlow running entirely in Kubernetes for the first time!
What You'll Learn
Deploy PostgreSQL as a StatefulSet with persistent storage in a dedicated namespace
Deploy Redis and the TaskFlow backend with proper environment variable configuration
Expose the TaskFlow frontend with a NodePort Service for external access
Verify end-to-end connectivity across frontend, backend, and database tiers
Organize a multi-tier application using Kubernetes namespaces and resource labeling
