About DevOps Maaya


Here, Learning Becomes Easier.


DevOps Maaya is led by Sagar Kakkala, with a simple goal: make learning Development and DevOps more practical, understandable, and connected to real-world projects.


Instead of learning tools in isolation, we believe the best way to learn is to understand how everything fits together — from writing the first line of code to deploying a production-ready application in the cloud.

Learn by Building. Understand by Doing.


At DevOps Maaya, learning is project-based.


You won't just learn what a tool is or memorize commands. We focus on understanding:



The goal is to help you develop the ability to look at a real-world application and understand the complete journey from development to deployment.

What Will You Learn?


DevOps Maaya brings together learning across Development, DevOps, Cloud, Containers, Kubernetes, and related technologies.

Development


  • React
  • Java
  • Spring Boot
  • REST APIs
  • PostgreSQL
  • Application Architecture
  • Frontend and Backend Development

DevOps & Automation


  • Linux
  • Git
  • GitHub
  • Maven
  • Jenkins
  • CI/CD
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • Helm

Cloud & Infrastructure


  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Amazon EKS
  • Terraform
  • Cloud Infrastructure
  • Deployment and Automation

Monitoring & Observability


  • Prometheus
  • Grafana
  • Application and Infrastructure Monitoring

The focus isn't simply on learning a long list of tools.


The focus is understanding why these tools exist and how they work together.

One Project. Multiple Technologies. One Complete Journey.


As part of our project-based approach, we will work with a real-world E-Commerce application.

1 Build the Application


We develop an E-Commerce application by working through the major components of a modern application.


Frontend → Backend → APIs → Database


You'll understand how the different layers communicate and how a complete application is developed.

2 Understand the Development Workflow


Once the application is built, we introduce the tools and practices used by development teams to manage and deliver software.


Git → GitHub → Maven → CI/CD

3 Containerize the Application


Next, we take the application and containerize it using Docker.


You'll understand:


  • Why containers are useful
  • How Docker images work
  • How containers run applications
  • How to create application images
  • How different application components can be containerized

4 Deploy with Kubernetes


We then move from individual containers to orchestration using Kubernetes.


You'll learn concepts such as:


  • Pods
  • Deployments
  • Services
  • ConfigMaps
  • Secrets
  • Ingress
  • Scaling
  • Application Deployment

5 Move to the Cloud


Finally, we take our application into the cloud using AWS and Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service).


You'll see how a locally developed application can move through the complete journey:


Code → Build → Container → Kubernetes → AWS EKS → Deployment

Along the way, we explore infrastructure automation using Terraform and package management using Helm.

Learn the Why, Not Just the How.


One of the biggest problems with learning DevOps is learning commands without understanding the reason behind them.


At DevOps Maaya, we want to change that.


Instead of simply saying:


"Run this command."

We want you to understand:


Why are we running it?
What problem does it solve?
What happens behind the scenes?
Where would we use it in a real project?

That understanding is what helps turn individual tool knowledge into practical engineering skills.

Our Approach

Learn

Understand the concepts and technologies.

Build

Apply those concepts to a real application.

Connect

Understand how different technologies work together.

Deploy

Take the application from your local environment to the cloud.

Understand

Learn the why, not just the commands.

Who Is DevOps Maaya For?


DevOps Maaya is designed for learners who want to build practical skills in:



Whether you are starting your journey or looking to strengthen your practical understanding, our goal is to make complex technologies easier to understand by connecting them to something tangible — a real project.

Our Philosophy


We believe learning becomes easier when you stop learning technologies as isolated topics and start seeing the bigger picture.



Build something.Break it.Understand why it broke.Fix it.Deploy it.Improve it.

That's how practical learning happens.
