Beyond the DBaaS Trap: Achieving Data Sovereignty with Kubernetes and CloudNativePG
Watch the full breakdown of how to claim operational control of your database, escape vendor lock-in—or avoid it altogether—and build a cloud-neutral PostgreSQL architecture that keeps your organization permanently in command.
Webinar Summary
This session cuts straight to the mechanism: how lock-ins are built, what they cost, and exactly how to escape them.
- Why leaving is so hard: Most organizations don’t realize they’re trapped until it’s too late. Learn how managed database providers deliberately block the one capability that makes migration possible at scale, and what that asymmetry costs you over time.
- When compliance becomes the forcing function: New regulations aren’t just changing best practices, they’re changing legal obligations. Understand why the EU Data Act and Cyber Resilience Act are pulling organizations toward sovereign architectures faster than any engineering argument ever could.
- The stack that sets you free: Discover how Kubernetes, CloudNativePG™, and standard PostgreSQL combine to give you every enterprise-grade database capability your team needs without handing operational control to a cloud provider.
- Getting out without the risk: A three-phase migration using PostgreSQL logical replication means no disruptive cutover, no downtime, and a defined rollback at every step. The risk of migrating is lower than the risk of staying locked in.
