Comment on Ask HN: Best way to set up self-managed Postgres clusters?

Comments

There's no amount of money you could pay me to do this with Kubernetes. Like, you could offer me double my salary, and I'd laugh.

The only answer that makes any sense here is Ansible.

Arguments:

Way simpler

Can fall back to using plain SSH if things goes really wrong

No vendor lock in

One less bit of technology in the mix to go wrong

Very boring, which means very reliable

What’s wrong with wrapping all in docker compose? Delivered to hosts by Ansible
