How CircleCI's team use K8s to deliver demos
summary
CircleCI runs demo pipelines that deploy to EKS clusters in North America, EMEA and Japan using Terraform modules + Vault for secrets and the CircleCI Releases dashboard to incrementally roll out or automatically roll back on failure (demo forced a rollback by raising error rate). Architecture is layered global/region/core/platform, multi-tenant and modular, cuts repeated manual setup, documentation was 80% complete before customer handoff, and customers now request sandbox access—deployment pattern is reproducible and actively used across teams.
