Request for xray and artifactory to be split up into multiple pods

[engnatha]

The current statefulsets deploy everything as one pod. This means all containers have to get put on one node which makes it harder to scale the system horizontally for non-HA applications. Is there a design reason why all the containers have to be part of one pod or could they be split up to allow for better distribution?

Hi @engnatha . Thanks for bringing this issue to discussion.
The history behind these decisions is long and goes back to the early days of Artifactory and Xray where there were less services and we wanted to run Artifactory in a single container for simplicity (with an easy docker run artifactory...).

Today, we have split Artifactory to more services and moved them to separate containers.

We already have work in progress to split some of these services to their own pods for better separation of concerns. Some will remain in the same pod for stronger coupling. No ETA for this, but it is in the works 😄

Wonderful! What's the best way to track the progress of/contribute to that effort?

This is tracked internally and without an ETA yet. So I suggest keeping this issue open and querying it once in a while...
