Article on how are we using Digital Ocean at AsyncAPI

Post title

Hosting community services on Kubernetes with Digital Ocean

Post description

This article needs 2 sections:

• clearly appreciate the support given to us by Digital Ocean. We recently received additional funding valued $1200 that will secure our deployments for a few months. So support of DO continues since it started last year.
• describe how are we using DO. Point out our K8S setup https://github.com/asyncapi/infra and explain what services we host there and how we do it.

@smoya sending some 🍻 and ❤️ towards you to encourage you to write this article 😄

Hello @derberg
I can work on this
Do we need to send a google docs draft link here for review?

[derberg]

@BhaswatiRoy that would be awesome, but we first need @smoya to provide technical input for the article

[BhaswatiRoy]

Sure @derberg
Waiting for the content

Hi @BhaswatiRoy! Im on parental leave, so I'm gonna give my best.
Writing that post was on my todo list before my time off but I wasnt able to make it possible finally. Happy to read you are taking over!

We do use Digital Ocean for some things, such as hosting the AsyncAPI Event Gateway, hosting the Server-API, and the Studio.

The first two are deployed into a K8s cluster managed by Digital Ocean. The deployment of those projects are made with Helm, files available under deployments dir on their repos.

The K8s cluster is created through Terraform and the files are located under https://github.com/asyncapi/infra.

Hope this helps!

Should the article contain in depth about how we use digital ocean or just an overview of it?

@derberg Is someone still working on this issue?
If not can I take it up?

[derberg]

nobody is working on it

[Shurtu-gal]

Sure I will complete the others, then take this up if it's still free.

@Shurtu-gal are you working on this?

[Shurtu-gal]

Not currently, you can take it up but recently we are shifting from k8s to apps. @smoya can point it out better.

Folks, what's the update on the article here?😄

Is someone working on it? If yes, progress please?

No one is working on it
I am dropping this on docs channel if someone wants to pick it then he can

@sambhavgupta0705 This is a BLOG post, not a doc. Do not spam the docs channel with blog post requests.

Btw, the only thing hosted in Digital Ocean at this time is the Server-API. The infrastructure is managed by this Terraform file and the app is deployed on each merge to master branch through Github Actions

[smoya]

Is this still needed @derberg ?
