Are Containers Ready for Production Databases? - Joe Brockmeier, Percona

The database community is notoriously skeptical and slow to adopt new technologies, and with good reason. Your app can go down, but you can’t lose or corrupt your customers’ data — that is a potential company-killing event. This session will explore a variety of paths for running stateful database workloads on containers, specifically focusing on fully open-source approaches rather than proprietary software. We’ll explain and show your options spanning from Docker and Podman volumes to Kubernetes operators and beyond. If you’re curious about whether containers are mature enough to run production databases, this session is for you.
