Scaling Node.js applications with Kubernetes and Docker
summary
Shows concrete recipes: replace hardcoded keys with environment variables, build a small Node.js Dockerfile, push images to Docker Hub and pull them from a cluster, run a minimal cluster with one master + one node, use liveness and readiness probes to avoid bad starts, expose apps via Services DNS, use rolling updates to keep ~100% availability, autoscale by CPU thresholds (example: add three replicas at ~20% CPU), and store state off‑cluster (S3/Azure Blob).
