Kubernetes Solves Its Biggest Problem: Managing Databases


Learn the operator pattern that makes PostgreSQL management seamless.

Even small teams can manage thousands of distinct resources, including VPCs, security groups, EC2 instances, Kubernetes objects, load balancers, secrets, databases, CI/CD pipelines, and more. Circuit Breakers: Track error rates in service calls and adjust routing or reject requests when failure thresholds are crossed, then recover when conditions stabilize. Worse still, traditional Kubernetes patterns — such as running migrations in an init container or bundling them into app startup — introduce race conditions, create fragile deployments, and make it difficult to observe, verify, or roll back what happened.
