idp_demo

The repository includes configurations and manifests for setting up an IDP, showcasing integrations with tools like ArgoCD, Crossplane, and others.

Overview

This project showcases how to set up an IDP by leveraging cloud-native tools and practices. The demo includes infrastructure setup, application deployment, resource management, policy enforcement, database schema management, and secret management.

For this IDP I wanted to focus on:

1. Standardized deployment process
2. Provide easy-to-use service templates
3. Centralized monitoring and logging

Key Components

• Infrastructure: EKS cluster using 'eksctl'
• Application DEployment: Managed by ArgoCD
• Cloud Resources: Managed by Crossplane
• Policies: Enforced using OPA(Open Policy Agency)
• Database Management: Using SchemaHero
• Secret Management: Using External Secrets Operator
• CI/CD: Automated with GitHub Actions
