Building and Deploying a Node Express API on a Custom Kubernetes Cluster
Introduction:
In this comprehensive tutorial, we will walk you through the process of creating a Node.js Express API and deploying it on a custom Kubernetes cluster built from scratch on a Virtual Private Server (VPS). By the end of this tutorial, you will have a solid understanding of how to set up, develop, and manage a containerized Node.js application on a Kubernetes cluster.
