Quick update for those interested:

This project is designed specifically for DevOps engineers and developers who want to *auto-deploy Kubernetes apps using GitLab CI/CD and Helm — without needing a runner or cloud credits*.

Perfect for learning, portfolio building, and survival mode infrastructure setups.
