With the advent of microservices in Kubernetes, individual developer teams now manage their own data, middleware, and databases. Automated tests and CI/CD pipelines have to be revisited to include these new requirements.

This session will discuss and demonstrate how to use Kustomize and Tekton to provide Kube-Native automated workflows taking into account new parameters such as database operators, StorageClass and PVC. In this talk, Nic is also going to provide some insights on how to optimize Tekton to work with multiple workspaces and overcome some of the affinity limitations.

The demonstration will focus on building a comics cards web application using a flask-based frontend and leveraging postgreSQL as the database. It will cover the automation of multiple lifecycle stages:

- local laptop testing automation on K3S with Kustomize
- production deployment using Flux, Tekton and the Zalando PostreSQL operator
