Since the recent paid changes from Bitnami, I'm searching for a good alternative to run a high availability Postgres database. Has anyone found a reliable option that works well?

Just curious, what about alternatives for the Bitnami Redis chart? Any thoughts?
For now, we just redirected image references to their legacy registry. It works temporarily while we investigate other databases like DragonflyDB.
CNPG is my go-to! It has loads of features compared to simple Helm deployments. Definitely worth a try.
I've been happy with CloudNativePG myself. It's working out great for me, even though I've never used the Bitnami version, so I can't really compare.
I switched to CloudNativePG and really like it! The documentation can be a bit tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it performs excellently. It's one of the best solutions for Kubernetes I've encountered, especially compared to other operators that don't allow tweaking pod resource limits.
Totally agree! The features it offers, like cluster annotation for suspending and resuming, plus snapshots and master switching, are superb.
Thanks for the insight! I'll check it out!
I recommend giving Zalando or StackGres a shot too. They both have robust features and can handle HA Postgres setups effectively. CloudNativePG is simpler to set up, so it's a great starting point.
Honestly, you don't need a Helm chart to deploy Redis. It's pretty straightforward to set up as is.
