# My opinionated microservice deployment guideline

This document complete my previous [« My opinionated project deployment guideline »](https://github.com/harobed/opinionated-project-deployment-guideline) document.

Note:

* between 2016 and 2018:

  * I have deployed and managed one On-premises Kubernetes cluster (on baremetal servers)

  * I have depolyed and managed one microservice app on this Kubernetes cluster

  * I have depolyed and managed several monolithic apps on this Kubernetes cluster

## Guideline

**First step**

* deploy your app with [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) (Follow [The Twelve-Factor App](https://12factor.net/) methodology)

* configure monitoring, instrumentation services:

  * [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/)

  * [Sentry](https://sentry.io)

  * …

**Second step**

* Configure Automatically update running Docker containers with [watchtower](https://github.com/v2tec/watchtower).

* Configure your CI to automatically push your stable Docker Image to your private Docker Registry

Then when you merge to your Git stable branch your application will be automatically deployed.

**Third step**

Deploy your microservice app on [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) only if:

* you master the first and second steps

* and your app need scalability

**fourth step**

* Deploy [Envoy](https://www.envoyproxy.io/) / [Istio](https://istio.io/) on your Kubernetes Cluster

## My advice

Don't try to directly go to fourth step before masterize previous steps.
