This project takes a real-world voting app—built with Node.JS, Python, .NET, Redis, and PostgreSQL—and launches it into the cloud with full Git-Ops automation. Running on AWS EC2 with Docker, Kind, and Kubernetes, it's powered by Argo CD for seamless CI/CD. Every commit to GitHub triggers live, production-ready deployments. Fast. Scalable. Reliable.
