Spring Boot delivery with GitLab CI and Kubernetes

This post introduces the integration of Spring Boot applications with GitLab CI and Kubernetes. It details the creation of a GitLab project, the bootstrapping of a Spring Boot application using Spring Initializr, packaging the application as a Docker container with a Dockerfile, defining the Kubernetes deployment using a `deployment.yml` file, and creating the `.gitlab-ci.yml` configuration file to automate the build, test, and deployment pipeline.
