Local Kubernetes (KinD)

Minimal local dev cluster for deploying platform systems on Kubernetes — the K8s-side counterpart of docker-compose.yml. No parity ambition: compose slices stay the fastest dev loop; this cluster is where systems move to Helm charts first, matching the roadmap ("IaC & Kubernetes deployments").

Files

File	Role
kind-config.yaml	minimal single-node cluster (commented block shows the first extension point: ingress port mappings)
up.sh	idempotent cluster create (kind create cluster) from the config

Prerequisites

• docker
• kind ≥ 0.23 (install docs) — first-time installs land in ~/.local/bin; ensure that is on PATH
• kubectl (nearby minor to the cluster; compose-free usage from any shell needs the same PATH note)

Usage

./infrastructure/kind/up.sh          # or: make kind-up
kind delete cluster --name hyperdata  # or: make kind-down
kubectl get nodes

Roadmap (in expected order)

1. Render platform/kafka/topics.yaml to Strimzi KafkaTopic CRs, or run init-topics.sh as a one-shot Job (per the K8s note in docs/ingestion.md).
2. Deploy Kafka (Strimzi, KRaft) + the Iceberg REST catalog into the cluster.
3. Migrate the services slice workloads (node placeholder, sidecar) to manifests — compose remains the fast dev loop; K8s is the deployment target.
