## What it is
A suite of Docker containers from Crunchy Data for deploying and managing PostgreSQL clusters on Kubernetes and OpenShift, including administration and monitoring tooling. The project is officially deprecated and no longer maintained, with Crunchy Data directing users to the Postgres Operator (PGO) instead.

## Use cases
- deploy postgresql on kubernetes with containers
- run postgres cluster in openshift
- containerized postgres with backup and monitoring
- docker images for postgres administration tools
- reference for legacy postgres container deployments

## When to choose
- you need a reference implementation of pre-operator-style Postgres container deployment
- you maintain a legacy system already built on Crunchy Containers
- you want to study how Postgres clusters were containerized before the operator pattern

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Postgres-on-Kubernetes project - use Crunchy PGO or CloudNativePG instead
- you need actively maintained images with current PostgreSQL versions
- you require commercial support or security patches

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: abandoned
- function: database, container-runtime, container-orchestration, monitoring, backup, deployment
- domain: databases, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: postgresql, openshift, docker-images, deprecated, crunchy-data, containers, devops, docker, kubernetes, linux
