Drupal, Kubernetes, Production
summary
Explains a proven production setup: EKS with AWS-managed EC2 workers, Helm charts, Terraform for infra-as-code and GitHub Actions to deploy images to ECR in ~3 minutes. Uses Cluster Autoscaler (80% CPU trigger) or Carpenter for advanced scaling, liveness/readiness probes and Horizontal Pod Autoscaler for resilience. For Drupal storage prefers EFS for shared public/private files over S3, uses Redis to cut DB queries from >100 to 43 (massive latency drop) and enables OPcache (~20% faster); secrets belong in k8s secrets or a vault.
