Timeline for Database on Kubernetes

The Evolution

Since its inception in June 2014, Kubernetes has dramatically transformed container orchestration, revolutionizing the management and scaling of applications. To mark its tenth anniversary, the Data on Kubernetes Community (DoKC) released an infographic showcasing key milestones and community contributions to the evolution of operators for managing stateful applications. This project was made possible by the collaboration of DoKC members Edith Puclla, Sergey Pronin, Robert Hodges, Gabriele Bartolini, Chris Malarky, Mark Kember, Paul Au, and Luciano Stabel.

Explore the infographic to see how Kubernetes has shaped the future of database management on Kubernetes.

Adoption and Impact

The CNCF says that 84% of organizations are using or considering Kubernetes, with 70% running stateful applications on it in production. The number of users and containers has grown, showing that more people are contributing, adopting cloud-native technologies, and finding new ways to use Kubernetes to manage stateful applications.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate ten years of Kubernetes, the way databases are integrated keeps improving, thanks to community efforts and new technology. Percona Everest is an excellent example of this progress. It’s more than just a tool for databases; it represents the future of running databases on Kubernetes. It’s open-source and makes running any database on cloud-based Kubernetes clusters easy. If you want to try it, visit our Percona Everest GitHub Repository and give us a star if you like it. For feedback or comments, join the Percona Forum for Percona Everest discussion.
