Rusty Container Ships: Kubernetes outside the Datacentre
summary
Company brings Kubernetes to retail using k3s on Raspberry Pi, Docker Buildx multi-arch images and Rust microservices; prototype deploys via an automated bootstrapping service called Sasha that phones home, builds a local cluster and joins nodes. Cash service runs as a containerized Rust binary (17 MB, ~30 MB RAM) with embedded DB, real‑time hardware protocol handling and HTTP/SSE APIs; kubernetes daemonsets manage devices, upgrades and restarts, zero-to-cluster in ~2 minutes, production setup works and meets predictability and fast start requirements.
