Kubernetes postgres backups

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/kubernetes

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • postgresql-backup-s3

    Backup PostgresSQL to S3 (supports periodic backups)

  • velero

    Backup and migrate Kubernetes applications and their persistent volumes

  • For Kubernetes-land, https://velero.io/ is awesome - but I haven't used it for online-database backups yet. If you're exploring, I'd checkout Velero - if you just need something to work reliably, I'd checkout Percona.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pgBackRest

    Reliable PostgreSQL Backup & Restore

  • I haven't explored the territory in awhile but for bare-metal, you can't go wrong with Percona Distribution, which includes pgBackRest and a minimal web-ui. No one ever got fired for using Percona, etc.

  • 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

  • We already had backup and recovery using object storage, but we are working to support VolumeSnapshots taking care to properly shut down the instance first! This awesome PR is laying the foundation for it, it's adding a subcommand to our kubectl plugin to manually perform a backup using VolumeSnapshots and adding support for restoring a Cluster from it, next step will be adding it to the ScheduledBackup/Backup resources too!
