What is a reason someone would want to run Postgres on Kubernetes?
I associate Kubernetes with stateless services that can canary deployed, blue-green deployments, auto restarts upon memory crashes, auto scaling etc.
But, I cannot think of any practical reason one would want such events on a database that one relies on for keeping the state?!
What am I missing?
Are there any toy use cases where people are using Postgres for where they can afford(and want) kuberneyes to rolling deploy, and crash restart Postgres instances?
In that case, why Postgres in the first place?
