WORKLOAD: POSTGRES FOR KUBERNETES

Mission-critical Postgres® solutions for cloud-native Kubernetes environments

EDB Postgres AI brings automation, smooth Day 2 operations, and a self-healing architecture to Postgres deployments on Kubernetes. Accelerate application development and modernization with microservices using an enterprise-grade k8s operator for Postgres.

EDB Postgres AI

EDB Postgres AI is an intelligent platform for transactional, analytical, and AI workload operations in your cloud-native Kubernetes environments.

Kubernetes accelerates the future — but also introduces complexity that can slow you down.

Running enterprise databases in cloud-native Kubernetes infrastructure can help accelerate app development and modernization. It can also introduce management complexity, operational overhead, and disruptive downtime that slow the pace of innovation.

Deployment complexity


Infrastructure teams manage many different systems at scale. Introducing a new database only adds to the complexity. Platform engineers need solutions that are Day 2-ready, with cloud-native tooling and easy CI/CD integration.

Operational overhead


Smooth Day 2 operations when running Postgres on Kubernetes requires knowledge and expertise of both container and database technology. Consistent operations can be hampered by human error and lack of expertise.

Costly downtime


Mission-critical applications require data that is consistent, compliant, and complete — without sacrificing performance. Distributed databases are a good solution for high availability, but also introduce a lot of operational complexity.

EDB delivers continuous high availability for the highest confidence in your data-intensive workloads.

Cloud-native automation


Automate database administration across regions and distributed cluster operations. Deploy, manage, and monitor Postgres and streamline operational workflows tasks using declarative configuration with the Kubernetes API.

Consistent operations


With EDB CloudNativePG Global Cluster, you can implement best practices for a variety of workloads, informed by EDB’s deep Postgres expertise, eliminating human error for a consistent deployment of data services.

 

Self-healing architecture


Automate recovery and rejoin of failed Postgres nodes, removing operational overhead associated with manually restarting nodes. Quickly restore functionality with failover, switchover, backup, recovery, and rolling upgrades.
