Kubernetes Deployment from Platform to API
summary
Claim: putting runtime manifests and infrastructure IaC in the same repository reduced deployment time from hours to minutes. Implementation uses AWS CDK or Terraform plus Kubernetes-native controllers like AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK) and Crossplane to provision RDS, DynamoDB, CloudWatch and even EKS itself via compositions that abstract different implementations. A reference solution wires GitOps (Argo CD), packaging (Helm/ck8s), and controllers to reconcile PRs into provisioned infra and running application; blog posts and sample code prove the approach.
