Real Life End-to-End Building, Testing, and Deploying of a Buzzword-Heavy Application
summary
A real Norwegian maritime licensing app is fully automated end to end using Terraform to provision AKS, Azure AD, Key Vault, SQL pools and Helm‑driven Kubernetes deployments, with Docker images pushed to Azure Container Registry and database migrations scripted via external/null providers. The pipeline separates infrastructure and application deployments, runs terraform compliance tests in dev, and claims reduced deployment times from days to minutes. Challenges include drifting provider APIs, unmaintained community providers, and complexity of remote state for new developers, but the system runs and enables regular DR redeploys.
