KubeBlocks is an open-source Kubernetes operator and control plane that manages 35+ database and streaming engines (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, etc.) through a single unified set of CRDs and APIs. It handles full lifecycle and day-2 operations including provisioning, high availability, failover, backup/recovery, scaling, upgrades, and observability.
Use cases
- run mysql and postgres on kubernetes with one operator
- manage redis clusters on kubernetes
- replace multiple database operators with a unified api
- deploy mongodb on kubernetes with high availability and failover
- backup and point-in-time recovery for databases in k8s
- build a dbaas platform on kubernetes
- migrate databases from bare metal to kubernetes
- manage kafka and rabbitmq clusters on kubernetes
When to choose
- you run multiple database engines on kubernetes and want one operator and api
- you need production-grade day-2 operations like backup, failover, and rolling upgrades
- you are building a database-as-a-service platform on k8s
- you want to reduce operator sprawl and gitops complexity
When to avoid
- you run a single database engine and its dedicated operator fits your needs
- you do not use kubernetes or prefer managed cloud database services
- you need engines not covered by kubeblocks addons
