Stakater Application Helm Chart

The Stakater Application Helm Chart is the standard way to deploy any application on the platform. It packages all the Kubernetes resources a typical workload needs — Deployment, Service, Route, HPA, PDB, ServiceMonitor, ConfigMap, ExternalSecret — into a single chart configured entirely through values.yaml.

This replaces writing raw Kubernetes manifests for each resource. Every application on the platform uses the same chart structure, making deployment configuration consistent and reviewable across teams.

What the chart manages

All resources are opt-in and disabled by default. Enable only what your application needs:

Resource	Values key
Deployment	application.deployment
Service	application.service
Route / Ingress	application.route
Horizontal Pod Autoscaler	application.hpa
Pod Disruption Budget	application.pdb
ServiceMonitor	application.serviceMonitor
ConfigMap	application.configMap
ExternalSecret	application.externalSecret
Forecastle entry	application.forecastle

---

Add it as a dependency

In your application's Chart.yaml:

dependencies:
  - name: application
    version: 2.1.13
    repository: https://stakater.github.io/stakater-charts

Then configure it in values.yaml:

application:
  deployment:
    image:
      repository: HARBOR_REGISTRY_URL/TENANT_NAME/APP_NAME
      tag: IMAGE_TAG
  service:
    enabled: true
    ports:
      - port: 8080
        name: http
  route:
    enabled: true
    port:
      targetPort: http
