Lol glad I’m not the only one who immediately thought “bullshit” when reading that.

At best it becomes someone else’s problem, as others here have said.

As we know, although Kubernetes (K8s) can be used to build and deploy various applications, including databases, there are still some challenges and limitations related to databases that cannot be fully addressed. Here are some of these issues: 1. Data Consistency: Kubernetes does not directly provide guarantees for data consistency in databases, while databases typically require integrity and consistency of data. Th…

That is the reason why you need KubeBlocks, it takes over the complexity.

That is not how complexity works. You might lower the difficulty in the happy path, but when something goes wrong, there is additional complexity, and that means more places to debug and understand.

> when something goes wrong

Thank for correctly stating “when,” not “if”.

Abstractions are wonderful until they aren’t, at which point you’d better know how everything underneath them works.

Is it just me, or are the comments on this post swarming with people that seem to only talk about this particular product. This feels like a borderline coordinated self promotion effort with several new/young accounts speaking highly positively in contrast to what seems like some reasonable skepticism of a product.

And that guy is usually me. Just remember when you leave a pool of shit behind, one of the victims might be making a hiring decision about you at some point in the future.

Read that last part again folks. Twice if you have to. You will run into the same folks in the industry if you last longer than 10 years.

Hey man if I run into the same people again I hope they either understand what my situation was.

People try to do their best.
