It all depends on the storage underneath. If you have got good storage, with CNPG you have comparable results you get on bare metal PostgreSQL.

Barman Cloud was a convenient choice for CloudNativePG (CNPG) because it was developed by the same team that created Barman originally (I am part of both teams). When we started CN…

As a founder and maintainer of CNPG, it is exciting to see it used here. I would love to know more! Thanks.

I don’t agree here. There are operators like the one I’m a maintainer of (CloudnativePG) which works directly with Kubernetes, teaching it how to handle Postgres clusters as a coor…

I actually do not understand the point here. And maybe you are not very familiar with the concept of transactions. Backups can only account for committed transactions. However, we …

I'm the author of this blog article in which I try to recap why running Postgres in Kubernetes is a good thing: https://cloudnativenow.com/kubecon-cnc-eu-2022/why-run-postg...

The reason could be the last 4 years of evolution in Kubernetes. Have you heard of DoK Community (Data on Kubernetes)? Might be a good place where to start.

Why not dedicate some worker nodes using taints/tolerations/labels, even on bare metal, with locally attached storage? I wrote this many years ago now but that's the reason why we …

If you are interested, I suggest this article I wrote that covers the current state of major upgrades with CloudNativePG: https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/current-state-major-post…

I agree with your view point and concerns. That is why we took the approach to reduce the number of components and integrate everything in Kubernetes, especially with logging (we d…

Maintainer of CloudNativePG here. Back then, we evaluated Crunchy Operator's source code. Being primarily imperative and using an external tool for failover, where the two main rea…

Thank you!

Can you please elaborate about obfuscation? Regarding being opinionated I believe that it is what we expect from an operator. An operator simulates what human DBAs in this case wou…

As maintainer of the project, I suggest looking at CloudNativePG, which is production ready (cloudnative-pg.io).

One clarification about CloudNativePG. It is not EDB's anymore (or EnterpriseDB if you prefer). EDB is the original creator. The software is now entirely owned by a vendor neutral …

CloudNativePG Maintainer and VP of CloudNative at EDB here. We decided to go even further with the CloudNativePG operator. EDB as original creator has decided to donate the intelle…

That's another good example of why CNCF is important, as in that ecosystem live technologies that are becoming standard for everything related to infrastructure, including monitori…

Got it. That's an interesting point of view. I think it makes sense in the data workloads, especially in the database one. Consider for example how database workloads are still lag…

Can you please elaborate on this: "Could this reasoning be extended to other databases and stateful applications?"?

There's definitely commonalities between operators for databases, not only with the same engine, but also different ones and similar primary/standby architecture. I agree this is s…

The project has just been submitted to the CNCF Sandbox, it hasn't yet been accepted. There's a lot of road to be done. If we get accepted, we'll be honoured to adapt and contribut…

Disclaimer - I'm one of the maintainers of the project Thanks for sharing the news! The project is hosted on github.com/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg and it is distributed under Ap…
