Overview

KubeDB by AppsCode is a Kubernetes-native Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform that simplifies and automates routine database tasks such as Provisioning, Monitoring, Upgrading, Patching, Scaling, Volume Expansion, Backup, Recovery, Failure detection, and repair for various popular databases on any private and public clouds.

Native Red Hat OpenShift integration: KubeDB is designed as a first-class Red Hat OpenShift platform service, using Kubernetes APIs and declarative configuration to manage databases as governed, reusable services rather than standalone infrastructure.
Automated database lifecycle management: The platform automates provisioning, upgrades, scaling, and failover through policy-driven workflows, ensuring consistency across clusters and environments.
Multi-database platform support: KubeDB supports any databases (SQL/NoSQL), caches and message brokers, enabling platform teams to standardize operations across multiple database engines using a single DBaaS control plane.
Integrated data protection and availability: Built-in backup, restore, and high-availability mechanisms align with Red Hat OpenShift operational models, reducing reliance on external, database-specific tooling.
Centralized governance: KubeDB supports distributed Red Hat OpenShift environments across clouds and data centers, allowing centralized governance with local execution wherever applications run.

FAQs

What's the difference between KubeDB Operator and KubeDB Platform?

KubeDB Operator runs and automates databases inside a Kubernetes cluster. KubeDB Platform builds on the Operator to deliver a centralized, multi-cluster DBaaS with governance, self-service, and visibility across teams and environments.

Is KubeDB Platform priced separately from the Operator?

No. KubeDB provides a unified, all-inclusive platform. The Operator and Platform capabilities are part of the same solution, allowing you to start small and scale into a full DBaaS without changing products or licensing.

Should I choose the Operator or the Platform for KubeDB?

Start with Operator if: You're running databases in a single cluster or you want Kubernetes-native automation. Choose Platform if: You need DBaaS across teams or clusters, you require governance, RBAC, and visibility, or you are building an internal platform or managed service.

Does KubeDB support multi-tenancy?

Yes. KubeDB Platform includes role-based access control, namespace isolation, and policy-driven governance to support multi-team and multi-tenant environment.
