The Best Ways to Implement Microservices on Koyeb: Looking for Advice and Guidance

Hello Everyone :hugs:,

I’m relatively new to Koyeb and have been exploring its potential for deploying microservices. I’ve read through some documentation and played around with a few basic setups, but I’m looking to deepen my understanding and ensure that I’m making the most of the platform’s capabilities. Specifically, I’d love to hear from those of you who have experience deploying microservices on Koyeb. Here are a few questions I’m wrestling with:

  1. Scaling: How does Koyeb handle auto-scaling for microservices? Are there any specific configurations you recommend to optimize performance while keeping costs manageable?
  2. Service Mesh Integration: Has anyone integrated a service mesh like Istio with Koyeb? If so, how smooth was the process, and what benefits did you notice in terms of service-to-service communication and observability? :thinking:
  3. CI/CD Pipelines: What are some best practices for setting up CI/CD pipelines with Koyeb? Are there tools or strategies that work particularly well for automating deployments in a microservices environment on this platform? :thinking:
  4. Networking and Security: What’s the best approach to manage networking between services? I’d also love to hear how you handle security—especially in a production environment. Any recommendations for securing communication between services and external endpoints? :thinking:
  5. Lessons Learned: Finally, if you’ve encountered any challenges or pitfalls when working with microservices on Koyeb, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could share your experiences.

Looking forward to hearing your insights and cognos learning from this amazing community!

Thank you in advance.
