How can I package microservices into a single binary for a baremetal environment?

Asked By CuriousCoder92 On

I'm working with a set of microservices that include a frontend, backend, databases, caching, and a gateway, all connected together. We have a docker-compose setup for local development and a helm-chart for distributed deployments. My main challenge is figuring out how to package all of these microservices into a self-contained binary that I can deploy in a controlled baremetal environment, especially since we have no root privileges. I've looked into GitLab Omnibus but haven't made much progress. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Check out zarf.dev. It could help you package everything needed for deployment, especially in isolated environments.

In my K8S environment, I’ve started testing a tool called distribution-tooling-for-helm. It helps package the entire chart along with the necessary images for an all-in-one deployment, especially useful in air-gapped setups. For custom charts, it generally works well as you can follow the setup to include your required images in the chart specs.

When you say you want to "package into a binary," what exactly do you mean? Are you considering embedding all manifests into a single binary, or would a zip file with the manifests work instead? That might be a simpler solution.
