Best Tools for Managing PostgreSQL on Kubernetes?
Asked by
TechWiz4U
I'm transitioning from AWS to an on-premises setup and I'm looking for recommendations on solutions for managing PostgreSQL. I've heard a bit about the Zalando PostgreSQL operator, but I'm curious about other options as well. What tools do you all use? Thanks!

The Zalando operator works too, I've had good experiences with it. Just a heads up, though—if your team lacks PostgreSQL DBAs, it might not be the best fit since it enables certain extensions that can slow things down significantly.

You might want to check out CloudNativePG. It's reliable and does the job really well!
TechWiz4U: Thx man!
PostgresAce: Do you know if CloudNativePG comes with a UI or if there are any Kubernetes projects for that?

I've been using CloudNativePG along with EasyMile's Postgres operator. This setup lets me define users and groups across different namespaces which is very handy. But honestly, just CloudNativePG on its own is solid and has great recovery capabilities!
