## What it is
A Kubernetes operator that deploys and manages highly available MySQL clusters using Percona Server and Openark's Orchestrator for asynchronous replication. It automates cluster provisioning, scheduled and on-demand backups, point-in-time recovery, and cross-cluster cloning.

## Use cases
- run a highly available mysql cluster on kubernetes
- automate mysql backups and point-in-time recovery
- deploy mysql clusters declaratively with a kubernetes operator
- set up asynchronous mysql replication with orchestrator
- clone a mysql cluster across kubernetes clusters
- schedule recurrent mysql backups in kubernetes

## When to choose
- you run workloads on Kubernetes and want MySQL clusters managed declaratively
- you need built-in backups, point-in-time recovery, and failover without manual scripting
- you want asynchronous replication topology managed by Orchestrator
- you are deploying WordPress or similar apps that need a cloud-native MySQL backend

## When to avoid
- you are not running Kubernetes - a plain MySQL install or managed database is simpler
- you need synchronous (Galera-style) replication rather than asynchronous
- you need a database other than MySQL/Percona Server
- you require very active development or guaranteed timely community support - the project is in maintenance mode with best-effort issue responses

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: database, deployment, backup, monitoring, container-orchestration
- domain: databases, self-hosted
