Most of us know by now that you can rent a server in the cloud to deploy your application. But setting up these servers, keeping them up to date and generally keeping things running can take a lot of time. Time you might instead want to spend on actually building your application.

In this quickie you will see how to do:

* Zero downtime deployments multiple times per day (No more 3am deployments on a Saturday)

* On fully managed infrastructure (You set things up once, and it will keep running)

* That's redundant and self healing (If it does crash at 4am you can keep sleeping and look at the logs the next day while the application keeps running.)

* Using software based on open standards. (No vender lock-in. You can leave the cloud if you want to.)

We'll wire together Java, Maven, Flyway, SQL, Docker + container registry, Kubernetes, Load balancers, Git, Jenkins and FluentD to create production ready infrastructure in just under 15 minutes.

Constantijn Visinescu is an all-round IT professional with significant experience in development, design, architecture and consultancy.
