PostgreSQL on Kubernetes Summit

A half-day event focused on running PostgreSQL in cloud native (and cloud neutral) environments. We'll explore the current landscape of Postgres operators (like CloudNativePG, Crunchy, Zalando, etc.), share best practices, discuss challenges, and go deeper into production stories from both users and maintainers.

About

Attendees will gain practical insight into the tradeoffs of different operators, backup and recovery in K8s, scaling strategies, monitoring, and zero-downtime upgrades. The format will include short talks, roundtable discussions, and panel Q&As to maximize participation and knowledge sharing.

If you're running Postgres on Kubernetes today, building an operator, or just interested in learning more, this event will help you navigate the fast-evolving world of databases on K8s.

Key Themes & Benefits for the Community:

  • 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
