  2. Deploy Redis and Cube.js on Kubernetes

How do I deploy Redis and Cube.js on Kubernetes?

In this guide, we will deploy Redis and Cube.js on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi. Redis will be deployed using the RedisLabs Kubernetes operator, and Cube.js will be deployed as a custom application. We will define the necessary Kubernetes resources including deployments, services, and configurations.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Define the Redis Enterprise Cluster (REC)
const redisCluster = new k8s.apiextensions.CustomResource("redisCluster", {
    apiVersion: "app.redislabs.com/v1",
    kind: "RedisEnterpriseCluster",
    metadata: {
        name: "redis-cluster",
    },
    spec: {
        nodes: 3,
    },
});

// Define the Redis database
const redisDatabase = new k8s.apiextensions.CustomResource("redisDatabase", {
    apiVersion: "app.redislabs.com/v1",
    kind: "RedisEnterpriseDatabase",
    metadata: {
        name: "redis-database",
    },
    spec: {
        memorySize: 100, // 100 MB
        redisEnterpriseCluster: {
            name: redisCluster.metadata.name,
        },
    },
});

// Define the Cube.js deployment
const cubejsDeployment = new k8s.apps.v1.Deployment("cubejsDeployment", {
    metadata: {
        name: "cubejs",
    },
    spec: {
        selector: {
            matchLabels: {
                app: "cubejs",
            },
        },
        replicas: 1,
        template: {
            metadata: {
                labels: {
                    app: "cubejs",
                },
            },
            spec: {
                containers: [
                    {
                        name: "cubejs",
                        image: "cubejs/cube:v0.27.0",
                        ports: [
                            {
                                containerPort: 4000,
                            },
                        ],
                        env: [
                            {
                                name: "CUBEJS_DB_HOST",
                                valueFrom: {
                                    secretKeyRef: {
                                        name: redisDatabase.metadata.name,
                                        key: "host",
                                    },
                                },
                            },
                            {
                                name: "CUBEJS_DB_PORT",
                                value: "6379",
                            },
                            {
                                name: "CUBEJS_DB_TYPE",
                                value: "redis",
                            },
                        ],
                    },
                ],
            },
        },
    },
});

// Define the Cube.js service
const cubejsService = new k8s.core.v1.Service("cubejsService", {
    metadata: {
        name: "cubejs-service",
    },
    spec: {
        selector: {
            app: "cubejs",
        },
        ports: [
            {
                port: 80,
                targetPort: 4000,
            },
        ],
        type: "LoadBalancer",
    },
});

// Export the Cube.js service URL
export const cubejsServiceUrl = cubejsService.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname;

Key Points:

  • We deployed a Redis Enterprise Cluster using the RedisLabs Kubernetes operator.
  • We created a Redis database within the Redis Enterprise Cluster.
  • We deployed Cube.js as a Kubernetes deployment, configuring it to connect to the Redis database.
  • We exposed Cube.js through a Kubernetes service with a LoadBalancer type to make it accessible externally.

Summary:

This guide demonstrated how to deploy Redis and Cube.js on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi. We defined the necessary Kubernetes resources and configurations to ensure Redis and Cube.js work together seamlessly.
