Kubernetes in the EDB Developer Portal

Kubernetes is the operational foundation of the EDB Developer experience. It powers Hybrid Manager, the control plane that unifies Postgres and AI workloads into a single, governable infrastructure. Whether you’re deploying Postgres clusters, scaling AI inference with GPUs, or managing pipelines for document intelligence, Kubernetes orchestrates it all in a cloud-native, consistent way.

Within this section of the EDB Developer Portal, you’ll find practical guidance and strategic context for running Kubernetes with EDB Postgres AI products. Resources are structured by role, by technical function, and by specific platform responsibilities.

Kubernetes and Hybrid Manager

Hybrid Manager relies on Kubernetes to run:

• Postgres clusters
• AI Factory Gen AI workloads
• Model Serving endpoints
• GPU resource management
• Vector-enabled search
• Data pipelines
• Observability and diagnostics

These workloads run inside your own Kubernetes clusters—on public cloud or on-prem—enabling sovereign data control and workload portability across environments.

Understand Kubernetes in Context

To understand EDB's approach to Kubernetes:

• Learn how Kubernetes is used at EDB
• Explore Kubernetes in Hybrid Manager
• Review our terminology reference

Role-Based Guidance

Understand how Kubernetes fits your team’s needs and responsibilities:

• Cloud Architects: architecture, topology, and multi-cluster strategies
• Platform Engineers: provisioning, automation, and cluster configuration
• DBAs: persistent storage, backups, scaling, and Postgres resource tuning
• Software Engineers: service reliability, workload integration, CI/CD
• Site Reliability Engineers (SREs): operations, observability, and resilience engineering
• Security Engineers: RBAC, network policy, secrets management
• Operations Support: incident triage, cluster health, support runbooks
• Decision Makers: cost controls, governance, platform alignment
