Which Kubernetes PostgreSQL operator should you choose?, with David Pech

Are you running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes and need to choose the right operator? In this episode, David Pech, Staff Cloud Ops Engineer, shares his experience implementing database platforms on Kubernetes and guides teams through operator selection and platform requirements.
