I had the impression k8s is still not recommended to run a DB or any kind of persistence. Are any large companies doing that in production? Regarding logging, object storage, how does kubernetes help? You'll have to implement these regardless of the underlying container infra.

Ondat does that, a bunch of people are using them. And Akamai acquired them, probably to scale their model

Yes. Lots of companies run things like ElasticSearch and Cassandra in Kubernetes. And even sharded RDBMS's are doable now thanks to projects like Vitess, which famously underpinned YouTube. Basically if there's a mature k8s operator for the DB in question, it's pretty straight forward. The "use containers/k8s for stateless stuff only" approach is very dated.

As far as I understand Zalando does this. They have their own PostgreSQL operator https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator.
