Introduction to Laravel and Kubernetes

When I first started working with Laravel, I was amazed by how easy it was to build and deploy applications. However, as our user base grew, I realized that we needed a more robust and scalable solution. That's when I discovered Kubernetes. In this article, I'll share my experience with deploying and scaling a Laravel application using Kubernetes.

The Problem with Horizontal Scaling

Before we dove into Kubernetes, our team was struggling to scale our Laravel application horizontally. We were using a load balancer to distribute traffic across multiple instances, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to manage. The problem was that each instance had its own database connection, and as the number of instances grew, so did the complexity of our database setup.

How Kubernetes Simplified Our Deployment

Kubernetes simplified our deployment process by providing a unified way to manage our instances. With Kubernetes, we could define a deployment configuration that specified the number of replicas, the container image, and the environment variables. This made it easy to scale our application up or down as needed.
