I love going to hackathons. Not just for participating, but for meeting new people and seeing what people are building in general. This year in May, I went to a hackathon Aventus, not for participating but for meeting some seniors and peers. While there, I met , who told me of an intern opening at his company ,
/ : Contains Terraform scripts, Kubernetes manifests, and GitOps configurations for Haalsamachar App.
CI/CD pipelines automate the process of testing and deploying code changes. HaalSamachar utilizes CI/CD practices…
The kubernetes deployment configuration yaml files are located in /deployment directory. These can be modified to scale the number of pods and other configurations as per requirements.
To deploy HaalSamachar using Kubernetes, follow these steps:
Install Kubernetes: Set up a Kubernetes cluster on your preferred cloud provider or locally using Minikube.
Apply Manifests: Use kubectl apply /deployments command to apply the Kubernetes manifests and deploy the HaalSamachar application to…
In a nutshell :
Okay, now I need to figure out how to deploy HaalSamachar’s application in a containerized environment.
Once I got the basics of ECR (Elastic Container Registry) and ECS (Elastic Container Service) down, I moved on to implement them in HaalSamachar. Here’s how it went down:
First, I needed a private, secure location to store the Docker images of HaalSamachar. ECR was perfect for this, as it integrates seamlessly with other AWS services and provides a safe, centralized storage for my Docker images.
With the Docker images stored in ECR, I moved on to ECS, AWS’s container orchestration service. Here’s how I leveraged ECS to deploy and manage HaalSamachar:
By setting up ECS, I didn’t need to worry about manually handling containers. AWS took care of the orchestration, and ECS's auto-scaling capabilities ensured that the application could handle varying traffic loads without manual intervention.
Once the infrastructure was in place, I needed a way to automate deployments. Enter GitHub Actions, a CI/CD tool that was critical in implementing GitOps for HaalSamachar. As it turns out, this was also how Vance handled their workflow.
I set up a workflow in GitHub Actions with the following stages:
This workflow significantly streamlined my deployment process. Each push to the main branch automatically triggered a full deployment pipeline, reducing the chance for human error and increasing efficiency.
My conversation with Rishabh bhaiya was a turning point. Before that hackathon, I only had a high-level curiosity about DevOps. Concepts like GitOps, IaC (Infrastructure as Code), and Terraform felt out of reach, almost like advanced topics for “real” engineers. But Rishabh’s words inspired me to dive in, to experiment with these concepts hands-on and push my project, HaalSamachar, to new heights.
After that initial chat, I studied, broke down, and pieced together everything I could about GitOps and DevOps fundamentals. I watched tutorials, read documentation, and learned by building. Even though I didn’t land the internship at Vance, the journey to prepare for that opportunity reshaped my perspective on software engineering. It wasn’t about the end goal of landing a position but rather the growth I experienced by stretching myself beyond my comfort zone.
Through this project, I realized that HaalSamachar, while perhaps not my most sophisticated work, holds special meaning. It's a project where I could test my understanding of GitOps and learn AWS services like ECR and ECS from scratch. Watching it come together made the late nights of debugging, building Docker images, and learning CI/CD feel incredibly rewarding. In the end, HaalSamachar taught me that you don’t have to wait for the “perfect” project or opportunity to dive into new tech. Just start where you are, learn, and build something—no matter how small, it will move you forward.
As I look to future projects, HaalSamachar will always hold a unique place in my journey. It’s not just a news aggregation tool; it’s the project that introduced me to GitOps and sparked my journey into the world of DevOps. And that’s thanks to a simple conversation with a senior who was willing to share what he knew.
