Postgres Operator
The Postgres operator manages PostgreSQL clusters on Kubernetes. Configuration happens only via manifests. Therefore, it integrates easily in automated CI/CD pipelines with no access to Kubernetes directly.
By default, the operator is building up on two other Open Source projects developed at Zalando. Spilo provides the Docker image that contains PostgreSQL incl. some pre-compiled extensions. Spilo also includes Patroni to manage highly available Postgres cluster powered by streaming replication.
