PostgreSQL Operator for Kubernetes: Simplify Cluster Management
This open-source Kubernetes operator automates the creation, configuration, and management of highly available PostgreSQL clusters.
Project Introduction
Summary
The Kubernetes PostgreSQL Operator provides a robust and opinionated way to run production-ready PostgreSQL clusters natively on Kubernetes, leveraging custom resources.
Problem Solved
Managing stateful applications like databases on Kubernetes manually is complex, error-prone, and requires deep database and Kubernetes expertise. This operator simplifies these tasks, providing automation for lifecycle management, scaling, and high availability.
Core Features
Automated Cluster Provisioning
Easily deploy new PostgreSQL clusters with specified versions, resources, and configurations via Custom Resources.
High Availability & Failover
Built-in support for synchronous or asynchronous replication, ensuring automatic failover in case of primary instance failure.
Backup and Restore
Integrates with cloud storage (e.g., S3) for scheduled backups and straightforward restoration.
Scaling
Seamlessly scale read replicas or adjust resource requests/limits for primary and replica instances.
Tech Stack
使用场景
The PostgreSQL Operator is ideal for various scenarios requiring managed and automated PostgreSQL on Kubernetes:
