cloudnative-pg
CloudNativePG is a comprehensive platform designed to seamlessly manage PostgreSQL databases within Kubernetes environments, covering the entire operational lifecycle from initial deployment to ongoing maintenance
Xata’s new platform uses a decoupled storage and compute architecture similar in spirit to Aurora, but with a critical difference. We do it strictly at the storage layer, without modifying Postgres itself. On the compute side, we run unmodified PostgreSQL instances in containers orchestrated by Kubernetes, using the CloudNativePG operator for high availability and failover. On the storage side, we’ve partnered with Simplyblock to provide a distributed block storage cluster accessible over NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabrics).

InfluxDB
InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

dbmate – A simple, language-agnostic approach to managing database migrations.

There are two major ways to deploy Postgres to Kubernetes. First is using Helm charts like bitnami/postgresql or Serge’s postgresql-single, which has benefits compared to bitnami chart. The second way to run Postgres is to use the Kubernetes operator. There are a couple of them, here we will talk about Zalando Postgres operator. The helm way is better when in the future you will not plan to use more than one or two Postgres clusters per Kubernetes cluster. If you realize, that you will run more, then the Operator way is for you with all its automation and management advantages. Here is an example of PostgreSQL database manifest for Zalando Postgres Operator pg-prod.yaml. This example was tested for intensive transaction processing with query rates up to 3000-4000 per second and database size up to 350GB (data and indexes). It is enough to start most projects with thousands of active users like medium-volume webshops, news- and community-support websites, medium-sized gaming or gambling, etc. We assume, that we already set up the operator and the S3 bucket with encryption and access control for backups and WAL-log storage.

peerdb

Project mention: ClickHouse matches PG for single-row UPDATEs and 4k× faster for bulk UPDATEs | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-08-17 -
I've been using Go with Goqu [1] for SQL for a lot of things lately. But, the language shouldn't matter much. The functions are just building the appropriate SQL clauses.
For some of the operations, the method I was using required marshaling the inputs to JSON before sending them over the wire. And that's nicer in a non SQL programming language. But both db's ultimately do have json_build_array/json_build_object for PostgreSQL or json_array/json_object for SQLite3.
