  If you want to use k8s as your dataplane, sure. Though I'd rather entrust that task to Crossplane. There's always a point at which running things on Kubernetes becomes worth it. RDS is an expensive service, and if you want to enable every developer to boot up a development environment, or several even, if becomes prohibitivly expensive to use one process for everything. This is also true about running any workloads on Kubernetes to begin with though, and many companies definitely would be better off with a service like ECS/FarGate/CloudRun/Fly.io. Especially if they don't need the flexibility to build their own addon metrics/secrets/logging stacks.

    It's the same RDS though. These controllers enable you to manage the lifecycle of the exact same AWS services you get when using the AWS console or CLI. Kubernetes is the porcelain and AWS offerings are still the plumbing.
