Did you ever try to deploy something and your infrastructure was not ready? Did you ever face the problem that your application was technically in a perfect state after deployment but terribly slow for your end users? In this talk, we will show you how we extended existing Kubernetes mechanisms to do readiness checks on a workload but also on an application level to check if the infrastructure is in a good state before deploying your app. After this talk, you will also have an idea of how our new Lifecycle Toolkit gives you additional insights into your deployment process and how you can implement mechanisms to sleep well while your application gets delivered
