I recently had a chance to speak with Chris Mellor at Block and Files about the emergence of Velero as the standard for Kubernetes data protection. I shared some ballpark estimates of market share across open source and commercial vendors to make my case. These numbers were obtained through diligent market research. They are estimates, but they are not imaginary.

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration and management, providing a powerful platform for deploying and managing containerized applications. One of the key benefits of Kubernetes is its support for namespaces, which allow users to isolate groups of resources within a cluster, providing a level of isolation and resource allocation for different applications or teams.

When we began developing CloudCasa, a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, for protecting Kubernetes applications, we looked at the data protection landscape and focused on areas that we could improve upon and give back to the user community. We wanted to provide them with a quick and efficient way in which they could start protecting this infrastructure with minimal effort, overhead, and most importantly minimal cost.

It’s spring again, and as the weather warms, the birds sing, and the flowers bloom, our thoughts here at Catalogic have turned to yet another major CloudCasa feature update! Our engineering team has (as they like to frequently point out) exceeded all reasonable expectations once again by delivering a veritable cornucopia of new features.

Postgres, also known as PostgreSQL, is a powerful open-source relational database that has been around for over 30 years. It has a strong reputation for reliability, scalability, and performance, which is why it is used by a wide range of organizations, from small businesses to large enterprises, across various industries. Whether you need to store and retrieve large amounts of data, run complex queries, or support business-critical applications, Postgres can handle it all.
