Kubernetes

There are many ways to deploy a Ruby on Rails application: one of them is using Docker containers and Kubernetes for orchestration. This guide shows some of the advantages of Kubernetes compared to other solutions and explains how to deploy a Rails application in production using Kubernetes. We focus on the usage of containers for production, rather than development, and we value simple solutions. This guide covers all the common aspects required for running a Rails application in production, including the deployment and continuous delivery of the web application, the configuration of a load balancer and domain, the environment variables and secrets, the compilation of assets, the database migrations, logging and monitoring, the background workers and cron jobs, and how to run maintenance tasks and updates.
