Services

Service	Type	Octopus Space	Description
payments-api	Helm chart	Payments	Core payment processing. Canary deploys, production approval gates.
fraud-detector	Helm chart	Payments	ML-based fraud detection. Higher resource requirements.
merchant-portal	Helm chart	Merchants	Merchant-facing portal. Tenanted (per-customer) deployments.
kyc-service	Raw YAML	Merchants	Identity document processing. Handles PII, stricter compliance.

All services use nginx:1.25-alpine as the container image. Charts are structured like real production services (per-environment values, HPA, PDB, health checks, liveness/readiness probes).

Per-Environment Values

Each Helm chart includes environment-specific values files:

• values.yaml — base/default values
• values-development.yaml — lower resources, debug logging
• values-staging.yaml — moderate resources, info logging
• values-production.yaml — full resources, HPA enabled, PDB, warn logging

Raw YAML (kyc-service)

The KYC service uses Octopus variable substitution (#{VariableName}) instead of Helm. Variables like #{Replicas}, #{LogLevel}, and #{DocumentStorageUrl} are replaced by Octopus at deploy time.

ArgoCD Manifests

The argocd-manifests/ directory contains plain Kubernetes YAML organized per environment. These are used with Octopus's ArgoCD integration — Octopus commits image tag updates to this directory, and ArgoCD syncs the cluster.
