What are you using to run Postgres?

• postgres-operator

  36 3,947 8.6 Go

  Postgres operator creates and manages PostgreSQL clusters running in Kubernetes

  

Somewhere between here and here i found out about that.

• kubegres

  17 1,287 7.2 Go

  Kubegres is a Kubernetes operator allowing to deploy one or many clusters of PostgreSql instances and manage databases replication, failover and backup.

  

I like https://www.kubegres.io, it takes a little getting used to how it works. I probably wouldn't use it for a huge database, but for things under a few TB it works great.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• cloudnative-pg

  10 3,304 9.8 Go

  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

  

This has a bunch of side-effects that break usual expectations around scheduling. For instance, cluster scale-down (for maintenance etc.) is blocked unless a specific taint has been added to each database pod. In addition, if the underlying node does fail, your cluster will be stuck in fail-over state until you manually delete the underlying pods. I think there are definitely other gotchas around this decision to use a custom controller but I have only tested this on GKE.
