How to Deploy SonarQube on Kubernetes with Helm

Deploying SonarQube on Kubernetes gives your team a scalable, resilient code quality platform that fits naturally into a cloud-native stack. Instead of managing a bare VM or relying on Docker Compose, you get self-healing pods, declarative configuration, rolling upgrades, and integration with your existing ingress controllers and certificate management. This guide walks through the entire Helm-based deployment from scratch: adding the official chart, writing a production-ready values.yaml , connecting to PostgreSQL, configuring persistent volumes, setting up an ingress, applying resource limits, and integrating quality gates into CI/CD pipelines running inside the cluster. By the end, you will have a working SonarQube instance that is ready for your team to use. If you are starting with a simpler setup first, see our guides on SonarQube with Docker and SonarQube Docker Compose for approaches that do not require a Kubernetes cluster.
