Guides

These guides are about what you can do with Kubernetes once you have a cluster — deploying apps, scaling them, keeping them healthy. They’re deliberately general: the concepts apply to any conformant Kubernetes cluster, and we use your paasbox cluster as a concrete, ready-to-go environment to try them in.

If you’re looking for how the product works — what we provision, billing, grandfathered pricing — see the Documentation instead.

Start here

• Deploy your first app — go from a container image to a running, reachable Deployment and Service.
• Expose your app with Ingress & TLS — serve it from the public internet over HTTPS: ingress-nginx, cert-manager, Let’s Encrypt, DNS.
• Run Postgres with CloudNativePG — a real database: the CNPG operator, HA with automated failover, and backups to S3-compatible storage.
• Deploy a Django SaaS — the full production shape end to end with UpCheck: web, workers, scheduler, Postgres, Redis, migrations, HTTPS.
• CI/CD with GitHub Actions — deploy from CI with a short-lived kubeconfig fetched per run, instead of a long-lived secret.
• Scale & autoscale workloads — run more replicas, spread them across nodes, and let the cluster scale them for you.

What you’ll need

• A paasbox cluster (or any Kubernetes cluster) and its kubeconfig.
• kubectl installed locally.
• A container image to deploy — your own, or a public one to follow along.
