Running Stateful at Scale: Scalable SQL Databases on Kubernetes

It's a long-held belief that Kubernetes is not an ideal orchestration environment for stateful applications like databases. The ephemeral nature of pods is typically bad news for something that's required to be available 100% of the time.

However, when your applications are orchestrated in Kubernetes, the temptation to colocate your database alongside it, within the same cluster can be very tempting (and worthwhile)! Cockroach Labs orchestrates all of its managed service databases within Kubernetes; from our multi-tenant Basic and Standard tiers up to our Advanced tier, it's Kubernetes all the way down and in this webinar, we'll share:

• Our learnings from running large scale databases in Kubernetes

• Why CockroachDB thrives, regardless of your operating environment

• How we harness Kubernetes to test CockroachDB under severe conditions, allowing us to bring you the resilience receipts and put our money where our mouth is.

• Why colocating your database with your microservice applications in Kubernetes can bring significant operational benefits.
