EDB, the original authors of CloudNativePG, celebrates the leadership of its well-known Kubernetes operator for PostgreSQL in GitHub stars. The project was launched just two years ago, and now it has surpassed all other Open Source PgSQL operators in stargazers.

This happened just recently: at the time of writing this post, CNPG had 4291 stars vs. 4264 for its closest opponent (an operator from Zalando). Also, as we all know, GitHub stars are quite a vague metric. However, the star history chart confirms an overall trend in how the community adopts CNPG.

P.S. Here, you can find an overview of CNPG and a brief comparison with other solutions.

CNCF has published another project journey report: etcd. It covers the whole story of this well-known key-value store (since 2013), featuring various stats and focusing on the years under the CNCF guidance (since 2018).

Some of the facts are:
- in CNCF, etcd has seen 65k contributions from 400+ companies;
- top contributing companies (cumulative) are CoreOS, Google, VMware, Red Hat, and Amazon;
- the project has its own SIG-etcd (introduced in 2023);
- there were 38 keynotes, talks, sessions, meetings, and workshops dedicated to etcd at KubeCons.

P.S. You can find more project reports (Kubernetes, Harbor, OpenTelemetry, and Argo) here.

CloudNativePG switches to its own Docker images

Last month, the PostgreSQL Docker Community discontinued support for Debian bullseye for the official postgres image. Following this news, CloudNativePG (a CNCF Sandbox project) decided to switch to its own images. By establishing its build process that uses Docker Bake, the project now fully controls the entire stack provided with its Kubernetes operator.

The PostgreSQL images produced by CNPG are based on Debian stable and oldstable and rebuilt weekly, cover PgSQL v13-v17, support AMD64 and ARM64, include popular extensions (such as PGAudit, pgvector, PostGIS and pgRouting), and come with SBOMs.

Percona Everest becomes OpenEverest

Percona Everest is a Cloud Native database platform that helps operating PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL databases in Kubernetes environments. Originating as a vendor-owned solution, it has now evolved into an independent Open Source project called OpenEverest. Percona has also formed a subsidiary, Solanica, that is fully focused on developing OpenEverest. The authors plan to donate OpenEverest to CNCF soon.
