Deploy Django: GitOps & Kubernetes Made Easy with Calvin Hendryx-Parker
summary
A live demo runs end-to-end in about 25 minutes and actually creates a fresh GitHub repo, CI pipeline, K3S cluster, Route 53 DNS and a running Django + Next.js app with Postgres and Redis; behind the scenes it uses Scaff + Nyx + Argo CD and Terraform, GitHub Actions, sealed-secrets, and AWS. The presenter repeatedly builds dozens of clusters for testing and notes two Kubernetes clusters harmed during the demo; secrets are sealed-secrets tied per environment and the pipeline successfully builds, tags, and rolls out images.
