Optimizing Kubernetes Deployments with Helm
summary
Runs Kubernetes on GKE for a crypto trading platform called WeAreBlox, uses Helm charts and a private chart repo to package and version deployments, and drives upgrades from GitLab CI that push Docker images and run helm upgrade. Demo installs SonarQube and a guestbook, shows Helm’s tiller server, chart packaging, dependencies (Postgres/MySQL), upgrade + rollback, and helm test. About 15 services reuse the same chart; rollback is rare in practice.
