🧱 Part 1: Introduction + Project Overview

• What we are building and why

• Why Kubernetes for PostgreSQL?

• DevOps skills we'll learn: GitHub Actions, KIND, K8s, S3 backups, CI/CD

• System Architecture (Diagram)

⚙️ Part 2: Setting Up KIND for Kubernetes

• Why KIND over Minikube

• Installing Docker + KIND + kubectl

• Creating your first KIND cluster

• Deploying PostgreSQL StatefulSet

• Verifying pods, services, PVC

🔁 Part 3: PostgreSQL + CronJob + S3 Backups

• Write backup script using pg_dump

• Mount volumes in CronJob

• Configure AWS S3 using IAM and environment secrets

• Test backup flow

• Log backup results in a “backup_logs” table

🌐 Part 4: FastAPI Backend for Real-Time Status

• REST API to expose:

  • Last backup time

  • Disk usage

  • Active connections

• Containerize and deploy on Kubernetes

• Expose using Ingress or NodePort

🎨 Part 5: Public Dashboard with React

• Create frontend dashboard

• Connect to FastAPI backend

• Deploy on Render

• Make it accessible to recruiters

🚀 Part 6: CI/CD with GitHub Actions

• Auto-deploy manifests to KIND using kubectl

• Local CI testing for Dockerfiles, Linting, etc.

• Optional GitHub environment secrets

📈 Part 7 (Optional): Add Monitoring with Grafana + Prometheus

• Monitor PostgreSQL pod

• Visualize memory/CPU/disk trends

• Add charts to frontend
