This presentation provides a practical, in-depth look at our three-year experience of running CRDB on Kubernetes as our main production database. We'll share the lessons learned from building a home-grown K8s operator and achieving multi-region and multi-cloud compatibility, including a successful cloud migration. We'll discuss cost and reliability tradeoffs, as well as showcase trials and triumphs in implementing resizable disks, CPU autoscaling, topology considerations, disaster recovery tooling, and more. Join us as we explore the highs and lows of our cloud adventure.
