Welcome!

Deploy your Laravel application to Kubernetes.

About

Larakube is a Laravel package that allows you to define your services and then later deploy them to a Kubernetes cluster.

Larakube allows developers to easily deploy to a Kubernetes cluster, you are probably wondering why bother, isn't Kubernetes for enterprise applications?

Benefits of using Kubernetes

Kubernetes makes it easy to deploy and manage containerised applications, that is why I would choose to use Kubernetes over a standalone compute instance, for example. But, it also brings many more benefits, your application and it's dependencies are all in one place, this has some benefits:

• Lower latency between services.

• Deployments are rolled out all together making deployments seamless.

• Built in readiness probes and liveness probes help to determine when your application is ready to serve requests or getting too busy and needs to scale.

• Networking rules between services for security and peace of mind.

• Easy to rollback when something doesn't quite go to plan.

• Environment variables stored as Secrets allowing them to be retrieved from containers easily.

• Automatic scaling based on metrics such as CPU/Memory and data transfer.
