Optimizing Database Management in Kubernetes
08-21, 12:45–13:15 (America/Halifax), Scotiabank Lecture Hall

Unlock the full potential of managing databases in Kubernetes environments using DragonflyDB as an example. This talk delves into the capabilities of Kubernetes with stateful applications like databases, despite it’s originally designed more towards stateless apps.

We'll explore how Dragonfly, with its high compatibility with Redis, can be seamlessly integrated and managed within Kubernetes using tools like Dragonfly Operator and KubeBlocks. This session is a must for DevOps professionals looking to simplify and enhance their database management strategies in a Kubernetes ecosystem.


This session focuses on database management strategies in a Kubernetes ecosystem.

Simplified Database Operations: Utilizing Kubernetes Operators, like the Dragonfly Operator, to streamline database management, reducing operational complexity.

Flexibility and Compatibility: Showcasing the use of tools like KubeBlocks to manage databases, highlighting Kubernetes' adaptability with various database technologies including Dragonfly.

Community Collaboration and Innovation: Encouraging shared learning and innovation in managing stateful applications within Kubernetes, fostering a collaborative ecosystem.

Enhanced Scalability and Performance: Leveraging Kubernetes' orchestration for efficient management of in-memory data stores like Dragonfly to gain higher throughput performance compared with Redis.

This integration not only simplifies database management but also promotes ecosystem innovation, resource optimization, and collaborative growth in the Kubernetes community.
