While typical web applications do not require large amounts of resources constantly, there are cases where specific processes consume significant CPU and memory.
In this session, we will introduce an architecture that offloads such resource-intensive processes to Kubernetes Jobs.
We will explain specific methods for Job management, how to integrate web applications (Next.js, @kubernetes/client-node) with the Kubernetes API, methods for data integration between Jobs and web applications, and real-time tracking of Job progress in the UI, all while sharing practical examples. Furthermore, we will provide a detailed introduction to a pattern where Kubernetes Job definitions generated from applications are managed using ConfigMaps, enabling quick configuration switching between environments, and offer hints to optimize your applications in terms of cost, performance, and management.
