PostgreSQL on Kubernetes: Do’s and Don’ts

Running databases in containers has long been considered an anti-pattern. However, the Kubernetes ecosystem has evolved significantly, allowing stateful workloads, including databases, to thrive in containerized environments. With PostgreSQL continuing its rise as one of the world’s most beloved databases, it’s essential to understand the right way to run it on Kubernetes. This session will cover the key Do’s and Don’ts to ensure optimal performance and scalability.

​While Kubernetes offers deployment flexibility, autoscaling, and operational benefits, running PostgreSQL on K8s introduces some unique challenges.

​What to Expect: This session will walk you through the best practices for setting up and managing PostgreSQL on Kubernetes, while highlighting common pitfalls to avoid.
