As modern organizations have rapidly embraced containers in recent years, stateful applications like databases have proven tougher to transition into this brave new world than other workloads. About 75 percent of container orchestration is done in Kubernetes. But the popularity of the k8s platform doesn’t mean it’s easy to use in all scenarios. Simply put: storage on Kubernetes is a challenge.

To simplify your Kubernetes experience, we have prepared the 1st meetup out of 3 meetups series - “Shoot yourself in the foot - Databases on Kubernetes. Fundamentals for running DBs on K8s” together with MAMBU, our community supporters and CAST AI.

Join us to get and practical experience through real-life demo session!
