Deploying databases on Kubernetes introduces both opportunities and challenges. In this presentation, Peter and Diogo will cut through the complexity, offering insights into effective MongoDB strategies in a Kubernetes setting. Beginning with an introductory overview of database deployment on k8s, they will discuss a critical comparison between private and public DBaaS offerings, shedding light on how businesses can leverage these models to meet their specific needs.

They will then focus on open-source database platforms for private clouds, presenting viable options and their pros and cons. A highlight of this talk is a live demonstration of MongoDB on Kubernetes, showcasing how to deploy a MongoDB cluster, execute backups, and navigate various recovery options to ensure data resilience.

The presentation will also give a peek into the inner workings of open-source database platforms, offering attendees a deeper understanding of their operation.

Designed for developers, DevOps professionals, and IT strategists, this talk is a full guide to mastering database deployment, specifically MongoDB, on Kubernetes, combining theoretical knowledge with practical demo for a comprehensive learning experience.
