    context: frontend

  mongodb:
    repository: https://github.com/okteto/mongodb
    wait: true
    variables:
      MONGODB_PASSWORD: password    

deploy:
  - name: Helm Install
    command: |
      helm upgrade --install movies chart \
        --set api.image=${OKTETO_BUILD_API_IMAGE} \
        --set frontend.image=${OKTETO_BUILD_FRONTEND_IMAGE}

This guide will take you through the following sections:

• deploy: Configure a list of commands to deploy your application
