A while ago I wanted to learn how to set up my own Kubetnetes cluster. I quickly found that there were wasn’t a single “right” way to do it. I was looking for a guide that would walk me through the steps of standing up a generic cluster with the most commonly used components. However, each guide I found was always different and tended to rely on tools to bootstrap the cluster and left it there. 

In the following, I will show how to consume web services in a few ways. For a more in-depth guide to better understanding how web services work, I recommend reading the following resources:

One of my fiscal year goals at work is to update our starter app. When I first started I was tasked with updating the existing app from Laravel 5.1 to 5.5. That was almost four years ago. At the time I was still pretty new to Laravel and hadn't known about some of the other dependencies out there that would make my job easier, dependencies such as Orchid, Backpack, Laravel permissions, Voyager, etc. Please note that this is not a how-to guide and therefore I'm not going to go through the process of installing and setup of each project.

Prerequisites

If you're on a Mac you can install Lando via Brew. However, it's recommended that you download the PKG file from the project's github Releases page.
