Deploying Angular with Java Backend on GCP GKE using HELM

A step by step guide with an example project

Kubernetes is one of the rapidly growing technology and all the companies are adopting it nowadays. When you run any application on Kubernetes you need to deploy so many objects such as deployment, configmap, secrets, etc. You need to define all these objects in the manifest.yml file and send these files to the Kubernetes API server. The Kubernetes reads these manifest files and creates the objects as desired.

Deploying your application one time is ok but if you want to deploy the application again and again you need to send all the manifest files to the Kubernetes API server again and again. Helm is the tool that solves this problem.

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes and provides the solution for package management, security, configurability while deploying applications to Kubernetes. Helm makes it easy for you to get going with Kubernetes. In this post, we will see how to deploy Angular with Java Backend on GCP GKE using HELM.

This is a simple project which demonstrates developing and running Angular application with Java. We have a simple app in which we can add users, count, and display them at the side, and retrieve them whenever you want.

If you want to practice your own here is a Github link to this project. You can clone it and run it on your machine as well.
