How to Create a Project with a CI/CD Pipeline and Kubernetes
summary
An open-source project template that uses Cookiecutter to scaffold three GitLab repositories (orchestrator, backend, frontend) and boots a full development stack with a one-line install. It supplies Docker Compose with local HTTPS, prewritten Kubernetes manifests for DigitalOcean, and GitLab CI pipelines that appear on first commit to run staged builds, mandatory TDD/unit tests plus Selenium/Cypress and Pact contract tests, and fully automated deployments to a staging (nonproduction) environment to minimize manual deploy steps.
