 ### Kubernetes (K8s)
 
-A basic Helm chart is provided to deploy InstantMock with Kubernetes. Currently, it ships with SQLite and is limited to a single replica.
+A basic Helm chart is provided to deploy InstantMock with Kubernetes. Currently,
+it ships with SQLite and is limited to a single replica.
 
 > 🔮 **Coming Soon**: Full Helm chart with scaling support and PostgreSQL.
 
+## 🚢 Kubernetes Deployment with Istio
+
+### Basic Installation
+
+InstantMock is designed to work seamlessly with Istio service mesh. To deploy:
+
+1. Add the Helm repository
+2. Create a values file with your domain configuration
+3. Install using Helm
+
+The minimal configuration requires:
+
+- Your domain name
+- Istio gateway configuration
+- Backend URL (matching your domain)
+
+### Example Values File
+
+Create a `my-values.yaml` with your configuration:
+
+- Set ingress.hosts[0].host to your domain
+- Set env.BACKEND_URL to match your domain
+- Keep service.type as ClusterIP (Istio handles external access)
+- Port 80 is used internally (Istio handles SSL/TLS)
+
+### Installation Command
+
+Run Helm install with your values:
+
+    helm install instant-mock ./helm -f my-values.yaml
+
+### Accessing the Application
+
+Once deployed:
+
+1. Configure your Istio Gateway
+2. Point your domain DNS to the Istio ingress gateway
+3. Access InstantMock through your configured domain
+
+The application automatically detects the environment and configures itself for
+production use.
+
+> Note: SSL/TLS termination is handled by Istio at the gateway level
+
