- To load balance gRPC services we recommend using [Istio](https://istio.io/docs/setup/kubernetes/download-release/) sidecar. In order to use automatic inject you should run following command:

```
kubectl create -f k8s/mainflux/namespace.yml
```

- Deploy PostgreSQL service for Users service to use:

```
kubectl create -f k8s/mainflux/users-postgres.yml
```

- Deploy Users service:

```
kubectl create -f k8s/mainflux/things-postgres.yml
```

- Deploy Things service:

```
kubectl create -f k8s/mainflux/things.yml
```

### 4. Setup Normalizer service

- Deploy Normalizer service:

```
kubectl create -f k8s/mainflux/normalizer.yml
```

### 5. Setup adapter services

- Deploy adapter service:

```
kubectl create -f k8s/mainflux/tcp-services.yml
kubectl create -f k8s/mainflux/<adapter_service_name>.yml
```

### 6. Setup Dashflux

- Deploy Dashflux service:

```
kubectl create -f k8s/mainflux/dashflux.yml
```

### 7. Configure Internet Access
