About this Product
Marrowdale City Council's Case Status Lookup service is deployed by hand with no visibility into its health, so outages go unnoticed until residents call in.
What you build
- Containerized application: a multi-stage Docker image with non-root execution and image scanning integrated into CI.
- CI/CD pipelines: GitHub Actions workflows that build, test and deploy on every commit, with automatic rollback on failure.
- Kubernetes platform: a local kind cluster with Deployments, Services, health probes, resource limits and rolling updates.
- Infrastructure as code: Terraform-managed namespaces, secrets, PostgreSQL, Prometheus and Grafana configured declaratively.
Skills you practise
- Containerization: multi-stage Dockerfile design, image scanning and Docker Compose for local development.
- Deployment automation: CI/CD pipelines with gated releases, smoke tests and automatic rollback.
- Kubernetes operations: rolling updates, health probes, resource quotas and proactive monitoring.
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform for reproducible environments and policy as configuration.
Outcome
- Production-grade platform: a fully automated, repeatable deployment with zero-downtime updates and Prometheus-driven observability, ready for your DevOps portfolio.
