From Traditional to GitOps: A Tale of Modernizing Two Goverment Institutions in One Year
summary
Two government institutions in Guatemala move from Docker monoliths and Java EE monoliths to a cloud-native stack within about one year, keeping data on-premises and targeting 1,000–5,000 concurrent users. One migration converts a bare‑metal Docker monolith (20–30 containers) to Kubernetes; the other adds GitLab CI/CD and culture change before container orchestration. Observability and live documentation accompany the rollout, and metrics and code quality are tracked with Prometheus/Grafana, SonarQube, Linkerd, Kubernetes and GitLab CI/CD.
