I was un-marshalling some JSON data onto my class and realised we could use PHP 8 attributes to make it cleaner and more easier to use.

Let me walk you through a quick example, imagine you have some JSON data:

{
  "airline": "Foo Airlines",
  "aircraft": {
    "type": "Boeing 747"
  },
  "route": [
    {
      "sequence": 1,
      "cost": 50.25,
      "luggageIncluded": true,
      "airline": "Foo Airlines",
      "departureAirport": "London Gatwick",
      "arrivalAirport": "Malta International"
    },
    {
      "sequence": 2,
      "cost": 20.25,
      "luggageIncluded": true,
      "airline": "Foo Airlines",
      "departureAirport": "Malta International",
      "arrivalAirport": "London Gatwick"
    }
  ]
}

The above data represents a flight departing from London Gatwick to Malta…

Introduction

Hey everyone! 👋 In my first story I guided you through building and deploying a Laravel Lumen application in a micro-services architecture using Kubernetes, Skaffold and Minikube for local testing.

Today we are going to take a deeper dive into a Kubernetes Deployment manifest and explore the following topics:

• Setting resource requests/limits
• Setting pod affinity rules.

This guide assumes you are familiar with the basics of Kubernetes and Minikube, there will be a chance in each section to participate and run commands against your local cluster, however, you are not required.

Setting Resource Requests / Limits

Let’s kick off with…
