ABSTRACT
In the software industry we’re fond of terms that define major trends, like “cloud native”, “Kubernetes native” and “serverless”. As more and more organizations move stateful workloads to Kubernetes, we’ve started to see these terms applied to data infrastructure, where they can get overtaken by marketing hype unless we work to define them.
In this talk, we’ll examine two different databases, TiDB and Apache Cassandra, in order to identify what it means for a database to be Kubernetes native and why it matters. We’ll look at points including:
- The differences between cloud native, Kubernetes native, and serverless
- How databases become Kubernetes native
- Benefits of Kubernetes native databases
- How Kubernetes can better support databases
