Postgres should run inside your Kubernetes cluster. Yes, inside, not outside Kubernetes. After all, a database should be seen as an application, a special type of application - for which it is legitimate to require an additional level of care and attention.

However, the small price you pay for this is worth the return on investment that your organization receives by running microservice applications, plus database combos, inside your Cloud Native infrastructure.

In this session, I will cover why it is important to make such a decision. Discover the challenges and the opportunities that running Postgres inside Kubernetes presents. I will discuss what we all expect from a good Postgres operator, including self-healing, high availability, scalability, backup and recovery, performance, and - last but not least - security. I will then go beyond technical aspects to spark conversations about the holistic improvements that running a Cloud Native database brings to your organization.

A long time open source programmer and entrepreneur, Gabriele has a degree in Statistics from the University of Florence. After having consistently contributed to the growth of 2ndQuadrant and its members through nurturing a lean and devops culture, he is now leading the Cloud Native initiative at EDB. Gabriele lives in Prato, a small but vibrant city located in the northern part of Tuscany, Italy - known for having hosted the first European PostgreSQL conferences. His second home is Melbourne, Australia, where he studied at Monash University and worked in the ICT sector. He loves playing the Blues with his Fender Stratocaster, but his major passions are called Elisabeth and Charlotte!
