Deploy full-stack applications (frontend + backend + database) to Kubernetes (Minikube) with ClusterIP services and kubectl port-forward access. Solves common issues: Docker space consumption (60GB+ → 15GB), frontend build failures with environment variables, and pod-to-pod communication. This skill should be used when users need to deploy multi-tier web applications to local Kubernetes with production-ready patterns including health checks, secrets management, resource limits, and dual API URL strategy for browser and server-side requests.
