Cool Kubernetes Project

This project demonstrates the implementation of a single-node Kubernetes cluster using Docker Desktop and containerized an application built with Express.js and Node.js. Deployed the application using two distinct approaches: monolithic and microservices architectures. Conducted load testing with the Locust framework to evaluate pod auto-scaling behavior based on varying load levels. Demonstrated the advantages of the microservices approach, where only the specific service under high demand scaled up, eliminating the need to scale the entire application.
