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
Call For Papers
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.
If you're running Postgres on Kubernetes today, building an operator, or if you’re a contributor to the PostgreSQL or Kubernetes project - we want to hear from you!
Bring your case study, your lessons-learned, your patches, your ideas for standardization. We’re looking for snappy, 10 minutes sessions to level-set, before going into a moderated discussion on what the future of data on Kubernetes could look like.
Please submit until September 1st, 24:00 Riga, Latvia time. Talks will be selected by Gülçin Yıldırım Jelinek and Floor Drees.
