What If Running PostgreSQL in the Cloud Was Actually Easy?
Discover how Percona simplifies PostgreSQL on Kubernetes with automation, scalability, and zero lock-in.
Power, flexibility, and control for PostgreSQL on Kubernetes
PostgreSQL on Kubernetes creates complexity that compounds with every deployment: manual configurations multiply, operational bottlenecks intensify, and costs from proprietary DBaaS solutions continue to climb. Even with experience, you're fighting these challenges daily, watching them consume your team's time and resources.
Percona ends these frustrations with a fully open source, production-ready PostgreSQL solution that gives you the automation, scalability, and cost control you need without vendor lock-in.
Simplify your PostgreSQL Cloud Strategy
Your database should be as flexible and scalable as your applications. Running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes with Percona means you can:
Kick manual setup to the curb
Automatic deployments and zero-touch tuning mean your team can focus on innovation, not infrastructure problems.
Break free from cloud provider jail
Run PostgreSQL anywhere—hybrid, multi-cloud, on-prem—with identical configurations that just work.
Give your developers the keys
Self-service database provisioning means no more waiting in line for IT. They provision, you maintain control.
Ditch the expensive DBaaS trap
Keep your wallet and infrastructure strategy exactly where they should be—under your command.
Scale without breaking a sweat
Auto-scaling, smart sharding, and seamless replication that grows exactly when and how you need it.
Microservices makeover without the migraine
Modernize your PostgreSQL infrastructure smoothly, without disrupting a single application.
How Percona for PostgreSQL on Kubernetes helps you…
Kubernetes gives you flexibility, but running PostgreSQL at scale requires automation, resilience, and consistency. That’s where Percona comes in.
Percona offers two purpose-built solutions to simplify PostgreSQL on Kubernetes:
- Percona Operator for PostgreSQL: A Kubernetes-native automation tool that lets teams deploy and manage PostgreSQL clusters with built-in high availability, scaling, and failover.
- Percona Everest: A multi-database control plane that enables self-service database provisioning across cloud and on-prem environments, giving teams instant access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB management while maintaining governance and security policies.
With these solutions, you get a fully automated PostgreSQL environment that integrates seamlessly into your infrastructure. But automation alone isn’t enough; you also need a database strategy that removes friction, ensures performance, and scales with your business.
Here’s how Percona helps you get there:
1. Eliminate infrastructure bottlenecks and get to market faster
Developers waiting on database provisioning slow down your entire release cycle. Percona solves this by automating PostgreSQL deployment, scaling, and lifecycle management, removing infrastructure roadblocks so teams can focus on building, not waiting.
- Self-service PostgreSQL provisioning. Developers can spin up fully managed PostgreSQL instances without DBA intervention.
- Automated deployments. Pre-configured setups ensure security, high availability, and performance with zero manual work.
- CI/CD integration. Embed PostgreSQL into DevOps pipelines seamlessly, ensuring databases are always production-ready.
Result: Accelerated development cycles with no infrastructure delays.
2. Stop wasting money on DBaaS—take back control
Cloud database services look attractive until you're trapped by scaling limitations, hidden costs, and vendor constraints.
Percona delivers DBaaS-level automation with total infrastructure autonomy:
- Zero licensing fees. 100% open source solution with predictable costs.
- Total infrastructure control. Your data, your rules, no provider restrictions.
- Percona Everest for DBaaS-level simplicity. Deploy, manage, and scale PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB from a single platform without vendor limitations.
The bottom line: Maximum flexibility, minimum unnecessary spending.
3. Standardize PostgreSQL across multi-cloud and hybrid environments
Managing PostgreSQL across cloud and on-prem shouldn’t be a guessing game. Percona helps you bring order to complexity.
- Deploy PostgreSQL consistently across AWS, Azure, GCP, private cloud, and on-prem with identical configurations.
- Eliminate security risks with built-in audit logging, encryption, and automated compliance enforcement.
- Ensure high availability and disaster recovery with automated backups, failover, and clustering.
The outcome: One solution. Consistent management. Everywhere.
4. Scale PostgreSQL without the headaches
Database growth doesn't have to mean performance compromises or operational nightmares. Percona transforms scaling into a smooth, predictable process.
- Dynamic workload scaling. PostgreSQL automatically adjusts to your changing demands.
- Built-in high availability. Automated failover, replication, and clustering ensure continuous operation.
- Performance optimization. Integrated query monitoring and intelligent workload balancing.
The impact: Scale confidently with no downtime, no manual intervention, and no surprises.
5. Automate Day-2 operations for effortless PostgreSQL management
Deploying PostgreSQL is only the beginning. The real challenge starts on Day 2: keeping databases secure, optimized, and always available without constant manual intervention. Without automation, these tasks quickly become a time-consuming operational burden, stretching DBA and DevOps resources thin.
Percona removes these obstacles by automating the full lifecycle of Day-2 PostgreSQL operations—reducing downtime, minimizing risk, and keeping your environment optimized:
- Percona Operator for PostgreSQL automates rolling updates, backups, scaling, and failover, ensuring clusters remain highly available with zero downtime maintenance.
- Percona Everest streamlines self-service database automation, centralizing PostgreSQL management across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
- Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) provides real-time performance insights, automated alerts, and query analytics, allowing teams to spot and resolve issues before they escalate.
The result? A PostgreSQL environment that self-manages, scales effortlessly, and requires minimal DBA oversight.
6. Transition to microservices without disrupting your databases
Modernizing from monolithic to microservices architecture demands a flexible database strategy.
- Kubernetes-native PostgreSQL. Purpose-built for containerized application environments.
- Automated database lifecycle management. Percona Everest handles provisioning, scaling, and governance—without adding complexity.
- Expert PostgreSQL guidance. Leverage industry-leading specialists to navigate your transformation.
The benefit: Modernize your infrastructure without risking application stability.
