When a Postgres Operator Decision Is Not Forever: Approaches and Experiences for Migrating Between Postgres Operators

Speaker: Takis (Panagiotis) Stathopoulos · 19:15–20:00

Picking a Kubernetes operator for Postgres is rarely a one-time choice. Licensing changes, architecture limits, and operational needs can all force a move later. Takis compared the main operators — CloudNativePG, Percona Operator for PostgreSQL, Crunchy Data PGO, Zalando, and Bitnami charts — and walked through replication, backup, and volume-based ways to migrate between them, ending with a real migration case study.
