What's in a Kubernetes Data Platform? Let's Build One!
Kubernetes is a popular platform for running databases, often as DBaaS for developers. This talk shares real-world lessons from building and operating analytic SaaS platforms. We’ll cover deploying databases on Kubernetes, monitoring, and providing APIs so developers can self-provision and manage. Guidance also includes upgrades, backups, and multi-tenancy—everything you need to start building your own database platform.
