kubernetes-traefik-docker-nodejs-playground

Playing with Kubernetes, Traefik and Docker (running simple nodejs apps)

Arch:

• Kubernetes cluster
• Express app1 (2 replicas)
• Express app2 (3 replicas)
• Traefik (in front of both apps, serving as reverse proxy)

Goal:

• Be able to increase/decrease the number of replicas
• Be able to reach different apps by going to different sub-domains
• Add letsencrypt to Traefik
• Monitor everything
• Stress tests on both apps to check the auto management feature

All tests will be done on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.

Notes:

• Test namespaces (kindof isolate both apps)
• Try to reduce the docker image as much as possible (eg: alpine, multistage builds)
