Kubernetes is a popular place to run databases. The deployments increasing comes in the form of database-as-a-service platforms for developers. This talk walks through the design of a Kubernetes DBaaS, based on our real-world experience building and operating SaaS platforms for analytic databases. We cover implementing the database environment on Kubernetes, monitoring, and public APIs for developers to provision and manage databases for themselves. There's also guidance on issues like upgrade, backup, and multi-tenant operation. The talk supplies everything you need to start building a database platform of your own.
