Rails on Kubernetes

Imagine a rails app that is highly available, Autoscaling, load balanced & self-healing! That’s some of the perks of deploying your rails app on a Kubernetes cluster. Hop in for this talk if you want to learn about deployment, scaling, & management of containerized Ruby applications using Kubernetes

The aim of this talk is to discuss the building and deployment of Ruby apps on Kubernetes for High availability, load balancing, self-healing, and autoscaling. The talk focuses on

• Kubernetes cluster overview
• Packaging your rails app for Kubernetes
• Allowing Kubernetes to do the heavy lifting
• Database setup and dependency management
• Deploying with zero downtime
• How do containers talk to each other?
• Scaling up and Autoscaling Rails application with Horizontal Pod Autoscaling

And more

After dedicating some time for learning Kubernetes, I couldn’t wait to try it myself and I was overwhelmed by the simplicity and ease of deploying scalable apps using Kubernetes. I hope to share the awesomeness of Ruby apps on Kubernetes with my fellow developers and help to build some cool stuff
