Deploy a production-ready MERN app on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) —using Google Cloud’s free $300 credit!
It’s a complete 3-tier architecture setup that’s scalable, secure, and highly reliable. Want to build something similar? Here’s how I did it:
NGINX Ingress to route traffic and handle HTTPS
Cert-Manager with Let’s Encrypt for automated TLS
Argo CD for GitOps-style continuous deployment
Kubernetes Dashboard for real-time monitoring
Configs & secrets handled the Kubernetes way
? Everything runs in isolated containers on GKE
The entire system is built for reliability, scalability, and real-world use cases. Whether you’re experimenting with DevOps or ready to launch something serious — this setup is a solid starting point.
What are your favorite tools for GKE deployments? Let me know in the comments!
I’ve made everything open-source, including the architecture diagram, manifests, etc.
