Community Office Hours: Postgres Operators vs Operators for Other Databases - January 27, 2026

Date:

Location: Online

Speakers: Ege Güneş, Jan Wieremjewicz, Alastair Turner

There’s a lot of discussion about comparing Kubernetes operators for Postgres, but what about how Postgres operators compare to operators for other databases?

Percona builds operators for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, which gives our engineering and product teams a unique view into what can (and can’t) be shared across approaches for different DBMS. Join us for a live discussion on what we’ve learned and why some design choices must be different.

  • Date: 27 January 2026
  • Time: 1:00 PM GMT

Key topics

Where Percona’s Postgres Operator comes from, and lessons learned from other Postgres operators StatefulSet vs not: the question that separates operators Major upgrades and how to reduce (or avoid) downtime

See you live!
