Services​

Services are the essential building blocks of modern applications, each responsible for a specific functionality. They can range from backend servers and APIs to databases and frontend applications. By segmenting an application into distinct services, it becomes easier to manage, develop, and scale. This modularity enhances the efficiency and flexibility of the development process

How do Projects and Services work together?​

In Kuberns, A project serves as a container for all related services, providing a holistic view of the application's components. By organizing services within a project, developers can manage dependencies, configurations, and deployments more efficiently. This structured approach not only simplifies the development process but also enhances collaboration and consistency across different stages of application lifecycle management.

How We Deploy Your Application​

With Kuberns, the process is designed to be as seamless and user-friendly as possible. You don’t need to worry about configuring ports or commands, which are typically required in traditional deployment methods. Instead, Kuberns handles these configurations automatically, allowing you to focus on your application development.

Additionally, if you need to add more services within a single deployment, you can easily do so using profiles. Profiles enable you to group and manage multiple services together without the complexity of handling each service individually. This feature is particularly beneficial for applications that consist of multiple microservices, backend services, and frontend components.

Furthermore, Kuberns eliminates the need for Docker files or YAML files for CI/CD processes. Our platform automatically manages these aspects, streamlining the deployment pipeline and reducing the chances of configuration errors. This automation not only saves time but also ensures that your application is deployed consistently across different environments.

Adding a new service​

Connecting and Configuring GitHub​

To fully utilize Kuberns, you need to connect your GitHub account for seamless integration with your version control system.

When you select a service, you will be redirected to the "Creating a Service" page where you can configure the version control source.



If this is your first time using Kuberns, you will need to authenticate GitHub to allow access to your repositories. This process ensures that Kuberns can securely access your codebase for deployment.

Authentication Process​

Upon choosing to connect to GitHub, you will be redirected to GitHub’s authorization page. Here, you authorize Kuberns to access your repositories.

This step is crucial for ensuring that Kuberns can pull the necessary code from your GitHub account. Rest assured, your data is handled with the utmost security, and Kuberns follows stringent protocols to protect your information.



Selecting Your Organization and Repository​

After connecting your GitHub account, you will be prompted to select the organization of your choice. This allows you to tailor the deployment to match your organizational structure. Once the organization is selected, you can choose the repository that fits your project requirements.

Choosing the Right Branch​

Next, you will be prompted to select the branch you want to deploy. The branch name will be linked to the environment it represents, ensuring a clear connection between your codebase and the deployment environment.

Tailoring Your Deployment​

To make your deployment more efficient, you will need to provide a service name. Choose a name that is meaningful and appropriate for its use case. This helps in easily identifying and managing your services.

You will also need to select a region for your deployment. We advise choosing a location close to your user base to reduce latency and improve performance.

Choosing the Correct Framework and Plan​

Select the framework that matches the project you are deploying. This ensures compatibility and optimal performance. Additionally, choose a plan according to your needs, whether it’s for a small development project or a large-scale production environment.



Attach a Database​

Kuberns offers an optional feature to attach a database to your deployment. This can be particularly useful if your application requires data storage.

Uniquely, Kuberns also supports the "Bring Your Own Database" option, which is ideal for users migrating from another platform to Kuberns. This flexibility ensures that you can continue using your existing database setup without any disruption.



Managing Environment Variables​

You can upload environment variables either manually or through a file. Please ensure that the file ends with a .env extension and does not contain any special characters. This precaution is crucial for the proper functioning of your deployment.



On following the above steps and clicking on complete setup will lead you to successful deployment of your service!!
