Running Django with Gunicorn over Nginx in Kubernetes is a good idea?

Question

I created Django site and expecting a lot of processing on my site. I'm running Nginx server with Gunicorn as explained in this tutorial

I would like to make something scalable to be able to raise processing power on my site. I have a simple question. Is it possible to move this severs-lump into kubernetes ? And if yes, is it a good idea? Or should I use nginx with uWSGI ?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to move servers-lamp into Kubernetes.

Yes, it is a good idea however it depends on you and your organisation's policies.

In Kubernetes, you can use Nginx ingress controller and run Gunicorn, uWSGI. We are running a flask with Gunicorn on K8s along with an Ingress controller so far it's working well.
