PostgreSQL on Kubernetes Summit

Friday, October 23 at 13:30–16:45
Room: Audit 2 Level: Intermediate

oin for an event focused on running PostgreSQL in cloud native (and cloud neutral) environments. We will explore the current landscape of Postgres operators, share best practices, discuss challenges, and dive deeper into production stories from both users and maintainers.

Attendees will gain practical insight into the tradeoffs of different operators, backup and recovery in Kubernetes, scaling strategies, monitoring, and zero-downtime upgrades. The format will include short talks and panel Q&As, so that we can cover as much ground as possible in half a day.

Key themes:

  • Comparative operator design discussions (Zalando, CloudNativePG, Crunchy, etc.)
  • Cross-vendor collaboration and open exchange of lessons learned
  • Operator internals: failover handling, PVCs, auto-scaling, backups
  • Use cases: Multi-tenant DBaaS platforms, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps
  • Roadmap alignment and interoperability

A Summit invites collaboration. We invite PostgreSQL folks to open their minds and share what they need when using data on Kubernetes. Maintainers of Cloud Native tooling should get ready to discuss with their peers what should be pushed upstream to make stuff better for everyone, not just the single vendor.
