A comment on PostgreSQL 14 on Kubernetes. Parent comment

We run all our databases in K8S, approx 80 DBs. We're a fintech that requires HA so all databases run with at least 3 notes. Maging DB clusters with K8S only requires 1 file.

If we need to increase storage this can be achieved in minutes, if we need to take one node down we basically can do it anytime during the day..

Every now and then we discuss moving DBs to AWS RDS (or equivalent) however for our transaction volume RDS costs are prohibitive.

I just checked your comment history and it appears that you like to troll.

How can I know that this isn't one of those cases? I know some folks in fintech and while obviously they're not _you_, they're definitely not the sort to be wishy washy with data, if anything they're quite conservative when it comes to how the databases are managed.

Any incidental complexity is incredibly discouraged.
