🚀 DevSecOps Netflix Clone CI/CD Pipeline with Monitoring (Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana)

In this blog, I’m not just deploying a Netflix clone — I’m walking you through a real-world DevSecOps pipeline that integrates: CI/CD automation Security scanning (shift-left approach) Containerization & orchestration Observability & monitoring Practical trade-offs and mistakes most tutorials ignore If you're aiming to become a serious DevOps/Cloud Engineer , this is the kind of project that actually matters.
