🚀 Kubernetes at Massive Scale – Lessons for Real Production This experiment shows that Kubernetes can be pushed all the way to 1,000,000 nodes. While it’s not production-ready, the project gives powerful insights: ✅ Think about network design early (IPv6 becomes a must at scale) ✅ etcd writes and API load are the real bottlenecks — optimize them ✅ Sharding + horizontal scaling of control plane components is the key ✅ Every “small overhead” becomes huge at scale — design clean & simple Even if your cluster is 100 or 1,000 nodes - these patterns help you build reliable, efficient, and future-proof production systems. 🔗 https://bchess.github.io/k8s-1m/ #kubernetes #k8s #production #devops #sre #cloudnative #scalability #infrastructure #etcd #clusters #platformengineering
