Databases and Kubernetes: Adopting a Distributed Mindset

Cloud native systems are, by definition, distributed —but to run databases securely and effectively on them, what’s needed is not only purpose-fit technology, but a change of mindset, according to this podcast episode’s guests. In this episode of Makers, the New Stack podcast, Jim Walker, principal product evangelist and Michelle Gienow , senior technical content manager, of Cockroach Labs (and a former New Stack reporter ), discussed how distributed systems create new challenges for databases, the paradigm shift that’s needed to run databases effectively on Kubernetes, and the results of a new survey of Kubernetes users. The podcast was hosted by Heather Joslyn , features editor of The New Stack. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
