Generally, from teams we talk to at Coherence (withcoherence.com), it seems to be a mistake to try to run stateful workloads in Kubernetes. As much as the cost savings compared to managed services like AWS RDS or GCP Cloud SQL are attractive, the configuration time and maintenance are just not worth it. Our perspective is that container orchestration tools should be used to manage stateless workloads, and that stateful workloads should delegate to managed services where volume reliability, scalability, and backup can be handled with purpose-built tools.
