cloud-deploy-blueprint

Deploy multi-service Kubernetes applications using end-to-end automation with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, Helm for orchestration, and selective container builds. This blueprint handles AKS, GKE, and DOKS clusters with integrated secret management and ingress routing.

Yes. Integrate managed services by configuring Neon PostgreSQL and Upstash Redis credentials as Kubernetes secrets within your Helm values and CI/CD pipeline, automating credential injection into pod environments.

Configure ingress controllers with TLS termination using standard Kubernetes ingress resources. This blueprint includes SSL setup patterns within Helm charts, enabling secure external access to multi-service deployments.

Separate NEXT_PUBLIC_* build-time variables (embedded during Docker image build) from runtime secrets injected via Kubernetes environment configuration, preventing build-time exposure of sensitive values while supporting dynamic runtime configuration.

Yes. Use GitHub Actions workflows with conditional build steps and Helm value overrides to deploy identical application stacks across AKS, GKE, and DOKS, centralizing pipeline logic while supporting cloud-specific configurations.

Familiarity with Docker containerization, Kubernetes pod and service concepts, Helm chart structure, and basic GitHub Actions workflows is necessary. This blueprint assumes intermediate knowledge of these technologies and focuses on orchestration patterns.
