Does k8s not push you to mix postgres pods in the same host as your API pods? Unless you go out of your way to handicap it.
I understand the appeal of applying the k8s (or swarm, or nomad) model to stateless API containers, but mixing in stateful db containers and pretending they're all equivalent makes less sense to me.
- thinkmassive 3y agoMany applications don't need multiple physical machines worth of database. Persistent storage has been a solved problem, especially when using a managed Kubernetes service. What's the problem with running stateful workloads on a cluster?
- thunky 3y agoWhat's wrong is that it adds extra layers of abstraction just to satisfy k8s. Extra layers aren't free.
