Learning Kubernetes with Spring Boot & Kafka – Sharing My Journey

Hi,

I’m diving deep into Kubernetes by migrating a Spring Boot + Kafka microservice from Docker Compose. It’s a learning project, but I’ve documented my steps in case it helps others:

• 📝 Blog post: My hands-on experience
• 💻 Code: GitHub repo

Current focus:

✅ Basic K8s deployment

✅ Kafka consumer setup

❌ Next: Monitoring (help welcome!)

If you’ve done similar projects, I’d love to hear what surprised you most!
