If DBs in Containers is Cool, Consider me Miles Davis
Are your cool friends all running databases in containers? Well its not about being trendy, it's about consistency and velocity. Running databases as a containers allows you to: Use the same tooling as your application stack Use declarative configurations through GitOps Use the same platform to provide networking, storage, and scaling - hint: Its Kubernetes Use identical platform APIs everywhere Enjoy faster startup and shutdown procedures Provide Fine-grained control over CPU and memory, not wasted on operating systems Less patching OK, thats as much of a pitch as you'll get from me. VMs are a tried and true method for running your databases, but it might be worth testing out DBs in containers if you're a Kubernetes shop. You might find some additional efficiencies.
