MTAR Presents: T3D Sessions with Greg Dostatni of Command Prompt

Welcome to Episode 4 of More Than a Refresh Presents: T3D Sessions
Command Prompt Founder Joshua "JD" Drake chats with Greg Dostatni, DBA at Command Prompt, about the Kubernetes mantra “cattle, not pets” — and why that doesn’t always hold true when it comes to PostgreSQL databases.

They explore why stateless services scale easily in Kubernetes, but databases face serious challenges around failover, replication, and recovery. Greg makes the case that databases must be treated as pets — because when the data is gone, it’s game over.

If you’re running Postgres at scale or evaluating Kubernetes for databases, this short talk is for you.
