The application was developed using Ruby on Rails.
The application requires a database for storing data.
The default database in Rails is Sqlite, but needs to be changed to PostgreSQL, and support HA (high availability).
As an architect, you decide to deploy the application using Kubernetes and use PostgreSQL as the database.

- Write scripts and yaml files, in order to setup PostgreSQL inside a Kubernetes cluster, optionally in High Availability mode, i.e. Patroni/Spilo with master/slave.
- You may need to modify the application source code or configuration in order to make the application running on Kubernetes cluster, e.g. make use ENV variables in 12Factor style, create Dockerfile.
- You have to write documentation and/or instructions about what you have done. This documents must detail steps for other DevOps to understand how to deploy this application and maintain it.
- Do not make your code public.
- Clone this repository to your local machine or fork to a private repository.
- Write the code.
- Write the documentation.
