Operational Considerations for Managing Stateful Workloads

When managing stateful workloads, whether in Kubernetes or traditional infrastructure, operational concerns like isolation, lifecycle management, security, disaster recovery, scalability, and observability take center stage. While the examples focus on AWS, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes, the principles and best practices discussed here are broadly applicable to any environment. This article approaches these topics from an operations perspective, prioritizing reliability, maintainability, and resilience. The goal is not just to run a database, but to ensure it operates efficiently, scales properly, and remains secure in real-world conditions. We’ll explore key aspects of running stateful workloads, from managing failure domains to ensuring observability, and how these impact both operations teams and developers. Whether you’re running a database in a cloud-native setup or on bare metal, these strategies will help you build a robust, well-managed system.

Staying on Nix

I have been using Nix regularly since roughly 2019, when I set up my primary build server to use Nix to manage the various toolchains, though it wasn't until 2022 that I really invested heavily, and I'm now using Nix in combination with other more traditional DevOps tools to provision and manage more than 10 physical machines and 50 VMs in my homelab.

Moving on from Nix

After using nix in my dotfiles for over 2 years, I’m now moving away from it. Here’s why.

pgrwl

pgrwl is a PostgreSQL write-ahead log (WAL) receiver written in Go. It’s a drop-in, container-friendly alternative to pg_receivewal, supporting streaming replication, encryption, compression, and remote storage (S3, SFTP). Designed for disaster recovery and PITR (Point-in-Time Recovery), pgrwl ensures zero data loss (RPO=0) and seamless integration with Kubernetes environments.

⚡️Приложение растёт: новые фичи, исправления, интеграции… Но код становится всё сложнее, тесты — хрупкими, а добавление функций — болезненным. Хотите сделать архитектуру своего Python-проекта устойчивой к росту? 1 июля в 20:00 МСК OTUS проводит открытый вебинар «Шик, блеск, чистота: clean architecture в Python». На примере Flask-приложения мы разберём ключевые принципы чистой архитектуры: разделение слоёв, инверсия зависимостей, независимость от фреймворков. Вы увидите, как эти подходы помогают создавать долгоживущие, легко тестируемые и расширяемые сервисы. Clean architecture повысит качество вашего продукта и упростит работу команды, а мастерство её применения войдёт в ваше профессиональное портфолио. 👉Открытый урок проходит в преддверии старта курса «Python Developer. Professional». Все участники вебинара получат скидку на обучение. Регистрация открыта: https://otus.pw/oQlx/ Реклама. ООО «Отус онлайн-образование», ОГРН 1177746618576, erid: 2VtzqxQ6w3k
