Winter is almost over, & NYCPUG wants to celebrate on March 20, 2018 with two hot technologies: PostgreSQL & Kubernetes!

Containerization has changed how applications can be deployed at scale with orchestration platforms like Kubernetes enabling teams to create versatile, redundant production deployments. However, there are still challenges with using containerization out-of-the-box with stateful technologies, such as databases like PostgreSQL in a deployment stack, but with the right tools, you can create your own secure & flexible database-as-a-service for all of your development & production needs.

In this presentation, Jeff McCormick, the Head of Container Architecture at Crunchy Data, explores how can you leverage Kubernetes to create a robust development & production infrastructure by covering the following:

* A brief history of containerization & how it has changed how teams manage infrastructure
* Advantages for applying containerization technologies to the PostgreSQL ecosystem
* Using Kubernetes & the postgres-operator to efficiently deploy & scale a durable PostgreSQL cluster
* Statistics on how deploying PostgreSQL with Kubernetes simplifies the management & scaling of your database cluster

Please join us at the offices of Pivotal on March 20, 2018 at 6:30pm for another exciting NYCPUG!
