The Workshop covered building a full stack JavaScript application using the MERN stack, including the back end with a MongoDB database and Express server, and the front end with React. The application was containerized using Docker and deployed to a Kubernetes cluster. The workshop also covered using operators for managing databases and ensuring secure service communication in Kubernetes. The final application was highly available and the GitHub repo with all the code and steps was shared.

Deploying and managing JavaScript applications in Kubernetes can get tricky. Especially when a database also has to be part of the deployment. MongoDB Atlas has made developers' lives much easier, however, how do you take a SaaS product and integrate it with your existing Kubernetes cluster? This is where the MongoDB Atlas Operator comes into play. In this workshop, the attendees will learn about how to create a MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) application locally, and how to deploy everything into a Kubernetes cluster with the Atlas Operator. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

MERN Stack Application Deployment in Kubernetes

The Talk discusses using Dino and TypeScript to simplify writing and managing Kubernetes YAML configurations. It explores the challenges of working with large YAML files and introduces a unique solution. The Talk also highlights the features and benefits of Deno, such as its secure runtime and powerful typing capabilities. It demonstrates how Deno can be used to create and modify Kubernetes objects, and emphasizes the advantages of using a general-purpose language for configuration. The Talk concludes by discussing the potential applications of this approach beyond Kubernetes deployments.

As we all know, dealing with Kubernetes YAML is not very intuitive (especially for those just getting starting) and the more resources and dependencies are added the messier and more complex the process becomes. In this talk, we'll explore how we can use Typescript and Deno to bring typing, composition, code-reuse, and testing as an alternative to YAML - that doesn't include these capabilities, all while still remaining declarative and easy to use. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Lucan de Muela discusses how to optimize Node.js development workflows in Kubernetes using Scaffold and Rancher Desktop. He highlights the developer experience, cluster management simplification with Rancher Desktop, and build/release workflow optimization with Scaffold. He also mentions the ability to update Kubernetes versions and choose a container runtime, as well as the option to reset the cluster for a safe development environment.

<div>In this talk, you will learn how to optimise your Node.js development and release workflow to Kubernetes with Skaffold and Rancher Desktop. Using these tools together helps enhance the local K8s development experience mirroring a real cluster experience, as well as the release workflow you would have for your remote cluster. We will cover the challenges of local Kubernetes development, how Skaffold and Rancher Desktop help, demonstrations of local releases to a cluster and how to use the same configuration for remote cluster releases.</div> <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Today's talk is about securing Kubernetes containers, especially for Node.js. The best practices for securing Kubernetes include using RBAC, OIDC, and secrets, as well as isolating workloads and securing container images. OADC is recommended for authentication in Kubernetes, and securing the Kubernetes cluster is crucial. Cloud-based Kubernetes clusters can utilize OADC or the default authentication mechanism provided by the cloud provider. Managing team size and dealing with different security philosophies are important considerations. Overall, securing Kubernetes is essential for protecting the infrastructure and data.

Learn security best practices for Kubernetes and especially for securing applications built with NodeJS running on Kubernetes. We will talk about securing the cluster, your Node.js containers, and more. We will also look at how to use OIDC to secure access to the clusters. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Today's workshop covers Kubernetes and deploying a Node.js application. It includes hands-on exercises, explanations of containers and Docker, creating pods and services, managing deployments, and using ingresses for external access. The speaker provides tips for debugging, scaling applications, and shares additional resources for learning Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is now the defacto standard for container orchestration. Despite being one of the most loved platforms out there, it can be intimidating at first. Where do you even get started to deploy your applications? In this hands-on lab, you will learn about the basic components used to deploy your application into a Kubernetes cluster. Once the basics have been covered, you will understand how to build and deploy cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. By the end of this workshop, you’ll be deploying, scaling, and automating JS-based distributed solutions using containers, Kubernetes, and other popular open-source tools for distributed computing. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
