Deploying databases in Kubernetes is challenging, but possible and increasingly common. Working with databases for over 17 years, Sebastian Webber, Senior Software Engineer at Timescale, joins Kubicast to share how this discovery happened and how his quest continues to convince people that “you have to use databases in Kubernetes!”.
In this conversation, we also talk about database failure cases, database operators for Kubernetes, and how to persuade using the “language of profit” regarding the importance of investing in infra.
