Really enjoyed this walkthrough. Deploying multiple microservices to EKS is one of those things that sounds straightforward on paper, but in practice the number of moving parts can get messy very quickly. I like that you showed the process step by step instead of skipping straight to the “final architecture” part.
What stood out to me most was how Docker Compose helped bridge the local development setup with the Kubernetes/EKS deployment flow. That transition is often where people get stuck, so this makes the whole journey feel a lot more approachable.
I’m also working through more cloud and DevOps content lately, and posts like this are especially useful because they reflect the real operational side of microservices rather than just the theory. Solid write-up overall.
