Migration to CloudNativePG: Trade-offs and Takeaways
Moving Postgres onto CloudNativePG is framed by the source as a question of trade-offs, and the answer depends on where you stand.
On the cost side: you swap native Postgres commands for CNPG commands, which can feel cumbersome, and debugging inside a Kubernetes environment can be unpleasant. The sense of losing fine-grained control is described as intimidating.
The gains are listed as self-healing, reconciliation, easy PITR once the CNPG CRDs are learned, rolling updates and scalability.
The recommendation is patience with the learning curve: after getting past it, things improve.
