As of today, there are two main ways to run your database: in the cloud, consumed as a service; and self-hosted.
Self-hosting was the only option before cloud; was replaced as the default option by DBaaS; and is now making a comeback. With reason.But would you self-host your database as it was done before? Surely not.
Enter DBaaS-like services on Kubernetes. We will explore:
* What Kelsey Hightower thinks about the topic.
* Why you should use operators for databases on Kubernetes.
* What capabilities databases on Kubernetes provide vs what cloud does.
* How to decide where you should run your database.
* What’s the current landscape of solutions to run your database on Kubernetes.
This talk also featured a short live demo to showcase how to run databases on EKS with StackGres (https://stackgres.io), an open source Postgres operator.
