This talk is a step by step example, how to develop, build and deploy a cloud native application with its infrastructure components. This cloud native application uses Kubernetes as the underlying application platform with following features:

- Kafka
- ArgoCD
- Tekton
- KNative

The use case is a feedback form, where users can give their feedback.

The use case is very simple and could definitely be implemented in a simpler architecture. But I decided to use the following architecture as a showcase for distributed microservices while using Kafka. The microservices are deployed as KNative services, so they are all able to scale to zero. Because of developer experience reasons I decided to use Quarkus as the application development framework for my microservices. Those microservices are built with Tekton. ArgoCD is responsible for the deployment of most of all the Kubernetes resources.
