About
The Looking Glass is a real production workload: designed to run on GeiseIT-owned servers with Kubernetes, and to move to other Kubernetes platforms without redesign.
How a request travels through the platform.
The workload runs on servers GeiseIT owns and operates, not on rented cloud capacity.
Standard Kubernetes objects only: Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps, autoscaling and disruption budgets.
The web frontend, the API and the diagnostics worker ship as separate, minimal container images.
One Helm chart describes the whole deployment, so every environment is installed the same repeatable way.
Every workload exposes metrics that are scraped for dashboards, alerting and capacity planning.
Traces and structured logs make each request explainable end to end without logging visitor identity.
The application is designed to be portable to Amazon EKS Anywhere. It avoids cloud-specific services and depends only on standard Kubernetes features, so the same Helm chart deploys to GeiseIT's own Kubernetes, to Amazon EKS Anywhere or to any conformant upstream cluster.
