Kubernetes

When we have a large project with a kubernetes cluster, it’s sometimes difficult to debug and test certain parts of the application. Mirrord allows us to bind a local port to a remote server. flowchart TB request --> mirrord subgraph Pod mirrord -.-x|intercepted| live_server:3000 end mirrord -->|db connection| db[(Database db:5000)] mirrord -->|forwarded| local_machiene(local:3000) local_machiene -.-|connects db:5000 via mirrord| db You can run a local server for example on port 3000 and bind it to a remote server. And any request coming to live_server:3000 will be intercepted by mirrord and forwarded to your local machine. We can debug the incoming request, connect to other services etc… Like our local machiene is a part of the kubernetes cluster. ...

Kubernetes is an open-source platform designed to automate deploying, scaling, and operating application containers. It’s a very powerful tool which allows us to declare how the infra should look like and the kubernetes will make sure that the infra is in the desired state. It has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem. Kubernetes services, support, and tools are widely available. How Kubernetes Works Kubernetes uses a declarative model, allowing users to specify their desired state for the deployments and services they run. The Kubernetes Control Plane takes these declarations and works to ensure that the current state matches the desired state. If a pod crashes, the controller notices the discrepancy and starts a new pod to maintain the desired state. This model enables scalability and reliability for containerized applications. ...
