Running #PostgreSQL on Kubernetes offers big wins—automation, portability, scaling, and HA—but it’s not without challenges: complex storage and networking to DBAs having to learn a new tech, it’s a hot topic for debate. Decide where you stand! www.postgresql.eu/events/pgday...

Autotuning for #PostgreSQL promises time savings, fewer errors, and smarter performance—but is it always a win? What about over-tuning, lack of context, or hidden overhead? Can automation really replace expert judgment? Join our debate to hear both sides: www.postgresql.eu/events/pgday...
