Can someone explain to me why I'd run this over a StatefulSet of whatever software I want to deploy? I've been skimming the docs and can't find a good reason T

  I think the value add is the various "for free" stuff that you get listed here: https://kubedb.com/docs/0.9.0/concepts/what-is-kubedb/overview/ https://kubedb.com/docs/0.9.0/concepts/what-is-kubedb/overvi...

  The Postgres clustering advertised here[0] seems like a great reason to me. 0: https://kubedb.com/docs/0.9.0/guides/postgres/ https://kubedb.com/docs/0.9.0/guides/postgres/

    How does that compare to something like CitusDB I wonder?

      It looks like a standard single r/w master + multiple r/o slave topology with the addition of their own leader election. I'd want to understand how the latter works and how it is tested very well before I'd trust it. https://kubedb.com/docs/0.9.0/guides/postgres/clustering/ha_cluster/ https://kubedb.com/docs/0.9.0/guides/postgres/clustering/ha_... https://github.com/kubedb/postgres/blob/master/pkg/leader_election/leader_election.go https://github.com/kubedb/postgres/blob/master/pkg/leader_el...

  StatefulSets are not "smart." You would need to manage and configure any kind of replications, leader elections, backups, etc. Operators like KubeDB make this easier to manage, and can make stateful applications more "Cloud Native"
