    Best suited if we have to manage external traffic inside your Kubernetes cluster and want to use granular control to your applications.

    Production ready, robust DB solution built for Kubernetes envs, we was able, for the first time, to ship production db workloads inside k8s. Be sure to check differences with "traditional" MySQL and other clustering solutions. Also be sure to match it with proper k8s storage solutions.

    Percona
    • Some differences compared to "traditional" MySQL solution.
    • Had some hard times trying to use it combined with pre-existing techs like WordPress, Magento, etc.
    • The specific k8s environment features can have an impact on it, like the storage solutions offered by the cloud vendor.

    We are already using NGINX which is so reliable, it definitely lends weight to our decision to select NGINX Ingress Controller. Also, even though it is a little more complex to manage, NGINX Ingress Controller definitely have a richer feature set, better performance, caching, traffic management among other features which was why it was chosen.

    Percona
    For a long time we struggled finding a viable solution to migrate our existing db workloads inside Kubernetes. Before "operators era" proper db workloads required manual management, of course that easily raised administrative overhead. Then the future started to be brighter with the introduction of operators and the "official" Oracle's MySQL Operator, then Presslab's one, finally Percona's operator. Compared to other operators, the last one allowed us to ship production db workloads inside k8s.

    • It allowed us to use k8s on our entire infrastructure.
    • Decreased administrative overhead around our db services.
    • As it is an open source technology, it cut down our db pricings.
