• ✅ Autoscaling (HPA): CPU/memory-based autoscaling (2-10 replicas)
• ✅ Secret Management: Kubernetes Secrets for all sensitive data
• ✅ Health Probes: Liveness and readiness checks on all services
• ✅ Observability: ServiceMonitor for Prometheus integration
• ✅ StatefulSet: PostgreSQL with persistent volumes
• ✅ PodDisruptionBudget: Safe rolling updates

3. Tilt Development Workflow ✓

• ✅ Tiltfile: Complete with live reload
• ✅ Local K8s: Supports Docker Desktop, minikube, kind
• ✅ Live Updates: Code syncs without rebuilds
• ✅ Documented: Full setup and usage guide

4. Platform Support ✓

All Required Platforms Implemented:
