Moving to the cloud is hard, and moving databases to the cloud is even harder. Public cloud or private cloud? IaaS or PaaS? Kubernetes for the application, or for the database and the application? This talk will juxtapose EDB Cloud Native Postgres, a self-managed Kubernetes and container based database solution, and EDB Cloud, a fully managed database service, that is built on EDB Cloud Native Postgres. The talk will review cloud architecture considerations and provide guidance for decision makers.
