Collaborative note-taking: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SAiczZ_BgGG2XcN-gEDG4zYOIfSuKvWm66xCkHMaOQA/edit?usp=sharing
Attendees will gain practical insight into the tradeoffs of different operators, backup and recovery in K8s, scaling strategies, monitoring, and zero-downtime upgrades. The format will include short talks, roundtable discussions, and panel Q&As to maximize participation and knowledge sharing.
If you're running Postgres on Kubernetes today, building an operator, or just interested in learning more, this event will help you navigate the fast-evolving world of databases on K8s.
Key Themes & Benefits for the Community:
- Comparative operator design discussions (Zalando, CloudNativePG, Crunchy, etc.)
- Cross-vendor collaboration and open exchange of lessons learned
- Operator internals: failover handling, PVCs, auto-scaling, backups
- Use cases: Multi-tenant DBaaS platforms, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps
- Roadmap alignment and interoperability
