Postgres Operator is a Kubernetes operator that automates the deployment, management, and operation of highly-available PostgreSQL clusters. It solves the complexity of running production PostgreSQL databases on Kubernetes by providing automated failover, backups, updates, and scaling through declarative configurations. The operator leverages Patroni for replication and integrates with cloud storage for backups and restores.
Platform engineers, DevOps teams, and database administrators who need to run scalable, production-ready PostgreSQL databases on Kubernetes. It's particularly valuable for organizations adopting cloud-native infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code practices.
Developers choose Postgres Operator because it provides a battle-tested, production-ready solution that simplifies PostgreSQL operations on Kubernetes. Its unique selling point is the full automation of complex database tasks through Kubernetes-native manifests, eliminating manual intervention while supporting advanced features like live volume resizing, major version upgrades, and multi-cloud backups.
