About this service

Summary

I offer a fully managed, scalable PostgreSQL database deployment on Azure using Kubernetes, ensuring high availability, auto-scaling, and robust disaster recovery. What sets me apart is my expertise in cloud-native architectures, leveraging Kubernetes for seamless orchestration, combined with a strong focus on security, performance optimization, and automated backup solutions tailored for dynamic business needs.

Process

Initial Consultation and Requirement Gathering
Meet with the client to understand specific needs, business requirements, and expected database performance goals.
Define success metrics, such as high availability, scalability, and backup recovery expectations.
Cloud and Kubernetes Setup
Create and configure an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster to host the PostgreSQL database.
Set up the necessary compute resources and networking configurations on Azure.
PostgreSQL Deployment with Helm
Use Helm to deploy PostgreSQL in the Kubernetes environment, ensuring a scalable and reliable deployment with stable, unique network identities.
Configure StatefulSets for PostgreSQL to manage persistent storage and maintain database consistency.
Persistent Storage Configuration
Set up Azure-managed disk storage as Persistent Volumes (PVs) and create Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) for reliable, consistent data storage.
High Availability and Auto-Scaling Setup
Configure synchronous replication and automatic failover across PostgreSQL instances to ensure high availability.
Set up Horizontal Pod Autoscalers (HPA) to automatically scale the number of PostgreSQL pods based on resource utilization.
Backup and Recovery Integration
Integrate pgBackRest for automated PostgreSQL backups, configured to store backup data securely in Azure Blob Storage.
Define and automate backup schedules and recovery processes for disaster recovery.
Security and Access Control Configuration
Secure communication between PostgreSQL instances using SSL/TLS encryption.
Set up Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) within Kubernetes for controlled access to PostgreSQL pods and cluster resources.
Performance Optimization and Testing
Tune PostgreSQL for optimal cloud performance, focusing on query optimization and resource management.
Perform testing, including failover, load testing, and query performance, to validate high availability and scalability.
Documentation and Reporting
Provide detailed documentation, including architecture, configuration steps, security measures, and performance results.
Offer a comprehensive testing and validation report, ensuring the cluster meets business and performance objectives.
Final Review and Handover
Conduct a final review with the client to ensure all requirements are met.
Handover all project documentation and configuration details, and provide guidance for future scaling or maintenance.
