In this blog post, we will explain how to run Everest UI […]
2023 was the year of Artificial Intelligence (AI). A lot of companies are thinking about how they can improve user experience with AI, and the most usual first step is to use company data (internal docs, ticketing systems, etc.) to answer customer questions faster and (or) automatically. In this blog post, we will explain the […]
The evolution of cloud-native technology has been nothing short of revolutionary. As we step into 2024, the cornerstone of cloud-native technology, Kubernetes, will turn ten years old. It continues to solidify its position and is anticipated to reach USD 5575.67 million by 2028, with a forecasted Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.51% in the […]
On October 24th, the Percona Kubernetes Squad held the first Ask-me-Anything (AMA) session to address inquiries regarding the utilization of Kubernetes for database deployment. This blog post will outline the top three questions raised during the session and provide thorough responses from our team of experts. Q1: When is it appropriate to use Kubernetes for […]
Namespaces in Kubernetes provide a way to isolate groups of resources within a single cluster. They are useful in multi-tenant environments with a few to tens of users and teams. They also allow dividing cluster resources between these users through quotas. Percona Operators come with cluster-wide and namespace-scope deployments. When you have a multi-namespace Kubernetes cluster, it poses a question of […]

Data-at-rest encryption is essential for compliance with regulations that require the protection of sensitive data. Encryption can help organizations comply with regulations and avoid legal consequences and fines. It is also critical for securing sensitive data and avoiding data breaches. PostgreSQL does not natively support Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). TDE is a database encryption technique […]
We at Percona talk a lot about how Kubernetes Operators automate the deployment and management of databases. Operators seamlessly handle lots of Kubernetes primitives and database configuration bits and pieces, all to remove toil from operation teams and provide a self-service experience for developers. Today we want to take you backstage and show what is really […]
Public cloud spending is slowing down. Quarter-over-quarter growth is no longer hitting 30% gains for AWS, Google, and Microsoft. This is businesses’ response to tough and uncertain macroeconomic conditions, where organizations scrutinize their public cloud spending to optimize and adjust. In this blog post, we will see how running databases on Kubernetes with Percona Operators can […]
Previously, deploying and maintaining a database usually meant many burdensome chores and repetitive tasks to ensure proper functioning. In the cloud era, however, developers and operation engineers started fully embracing automation tools making their job significantly easier. Of those tools, Kubernetes operators are certainly one of the most prominent, as they are oftentimes used as […]
Databases on Kubernetes continue their rising trend. We see the growing adoption of our Percona Kubernetes Operators and the demand to migrate workloads to the cloud-native platform. Our Operators provide built-in backup and restore capabilities, but some users are still looking for old-fashioned ways, like storage-level snapshots (i.e., AWS EBS Snapshots). In this blog post, […]
The definition of Percona Advisors by ChatGPT is the following: Percona Advisors can help organizations implement robust security measures to protect their databases and sensitive data. It is partially true. The reason why we have Percona Advisors is to encode years of our database expertise and share it with the community, to automatically identify potential […]
Operators hide the complexity of the application and Kubernetes. Instead of dealing with Pods, StatefulSets, tons of YAML manifests, and various configuration files, the user talks to Kubernetes API to provision a ready-to-use application. An Operator automatically provisions all the required resources and exposes the application. Though, there is always a risk that the user […]
