missed this twice when i ran the helm install, would be good to also have it in the docs.

currently: The Pod RESTARTS column shows that maybe Kafka was slow, and the service was started first by Kubernetes, hence it restarted to wait for Kafka to be ready.

Now you can point your browser to http://localhost/ to see the application.

Running port-forward will allow you to see the application on localhost kubectl port-forward svc/frontend -n default 8080:80

@dereknHBO thanks for reaching out.. adding port-forward is not necessary, as KinD is doing the port mapping. The reason why port-forward might seems to be working is because, kubectl will bypass the ingress and connect directly to the pod. What you want most of the time is to go through all the hoops that your end users will go, in this case going through the ingress. Does that make sense?
