The state of stateful applications on Kubernetes
Kubernetes has become one of the most popular platforms for running cloud-native applications. This popularity is due to several factors, including its ease of use and ability to handle stateless applications. However, running stateful applications, such as databases and storage systems, on Kubernetes clusters is still debatable. In other words, does Kubernetes and its containerized ecosystem provide a solid and reliable infrastructure to run such critical applications?
