EDB Postgres® AI for CloudNativePG™ - Technical Brief
CloudNativePG (CNPG), originally built by EDB and now a CNCF Sandbox
project, represents a paradigm shift in how PostgreSQL is managed
within Kubernetes environments. Unlike traditional approaches that treat
containers as mere virtual machines, CNPG is an open-source operator
designed specifically for the Kubernetes API, treating the database as a
critical capability of the cloud-native ecosystem. By automating the full
lifecycle—from high availability failover and point-in-time recovery to native
Prometheus-based observability—CNPG eliminates the operational
friction typically associated with running stateful workloads at scale.
