SHIP - SprintHive Innovation Platform

Install a plug-and-play microservices environment into your Kubernetes cluster.

There are a many infrastructure components needed to run an effective microservices architecture. Researching, configuring and integrating all these components takes a great deal of time and effort, effort that could be better spent working on the services that are core to your business. This project aims to create a fully functioning microservices environment on an existing Kubernetes cluster within minutes by installing a collection of open-source tools that have been configured to work seamlessly with each other.

Components that will be installed currently include:

• Ingress GW (Kong)
• Ingress GW Database (Cassandra)
• Logging database (Elasticsearch)
• Log collector (Fluent-bit)
• Tracing (Zipkin)
• Metric database (Prometheus)
• Metric Visualization (Grafana)
• Log Viewer (Kibana)
• CI/CD (Jenkins)
• Artifact repository (Nexus)
