Re: Running postgresql databases in Docker

Docker can certainly work, but for any kind of production application don’t keep the storage inside of the containers.  Take a look at the approach Crunchy Data (crunchydata.com) has done in their Kubernetes orchestrator for PostgreSQL clusters as a solid implementation example.  Sarah Conway good a good presentation at PostgresOpn SV last September, it may be online somewhere.

Cheers,
