As part of the preparations for the launch 🚀 of our App-as-a-Service platform Home of Apps, I have been working with Kubernetes extensively for the first time in the past few weeks and months. Docker 🐳 containers have been part of my toolset for quite some time 🛠, but for our new platform we want to ensure scalability 📈 and reliability 💪🏼.
I have been using the German hosting provider Hetzner for many years and have been using their cloud hosting services for quite some time ☁. So I looked for appropriate solutions in connection with Kubernetes and tried the kube-hetzner project with Terraform first. Somehow I didn't warm to it and had problems getting my services up and running.
Now, after a few weeks of research, I tried the second approach using the hetzner-k3s project and this time it worked and our new infrastructure is up and running 💪🏼. In addition to the resources of the hetzner-k3s project, the articles by Simon Ostendorf for setting up the reverse proxy Traefik and Juanjo Garcia for setting up Cert Manager were very helpful.
If you are interested in learning more about our App-as-a-Service offering Home of Apps, feel free to follow our showcase page here on LinkedIn. As soon as there is any news, we will announce it there.
I will be sharing more insights into our development processes 👨🏼💻 in the future, so feel free to follow me here on LinkedIn to stay up to date.
