Summary

The article from the "Codefresh in the Wild" series outlines a hands-on journey of deploying the Kubernetes application "starbase-80" using a variety of tools including GitHub, Docker, AWS, Codefresh, Argo CD, and Terraform. It offers a detailed account of integrating these tools to establish an efficient end-to-end deployment workflow, emphasizing the use of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) via Terraform for setting up the infrastructure and employing Helm for deploying the application. The process involves setting up a pipeline with Codefresh to build and test the application, and utilizing Argo CD for GitOps-based deployments, allowing for customization across different environments. The article reflects on the learning experiences encountered during the setup, highlighting the importance of IaC for efficient management, the ease and complexity of using Helm charts, and the benefits of maintaining everything in Git for traceability and version control. It concludes with a note on continuous learning and improvement through practical experience and troubleshooting.
