Modern PostgreSQL Deployment: 3 Cloud Native Approaches You Should Know

PostgreSQL is currently the fourth most popular database globally, according to Statista, with increasing adoption highlighted in the 2023 State of PostgreSQL Survey. It has evolved significantly since its inception in 1990, leading to innovative cloud-native deployment approaches. Kubernetes Deployment with CloudNativePG: Deploying PostgreSQL on Kubernetes is preferred in cloud-native environments. Helm charts simplify initial deployment but struggle with day-two operations. CloudNativePG, an open-source Kubernetes operator developed by EDB and now community-driven, focuses on simplicity and data safety, supporting synchronous replication and automated failover. It was recently submitted as a CNCF Sandbox project. Self-Service with Cloud Foundry Marketplace for Korifi: Platform engineering has increased the demand for self-service capabilities. Korifi, utilizing Kubernetes, offers a developer-centric experience by abstracting Kubernetes complexities. The Cloud Foundry Marketplace allows users to deploy pre-built applications, including PostgreSQL, with a simple command. Separating Compute and Storage with Neon: Neon offers a serverless approach that decouples storage from computing, addressing scalability and resource utilization challenges in traditional PostgreSQL deployments. It features a distributed architecture and allows for instant cloning and branching of databases, similar to Git.

Microsoft Defender review

Microsoft Defender has evolved from a basic antivirus tool to a comprehensive security solution, featuring parental controls, malware scanning, behavioral monitoring, email scanning, a password manager, and a secure browser. Launched in June 2022, Defender for Individuals, part of a Microsoft 365 subscription, offers benefits like dark web scanning, identity protection, and online storage (1TB for individuals, up to 6TB for families). The subscription costs for one user and is free for six users. Defender protects Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices, with new Windows PCs pre-installed with it. It includes advanced behavioral analysis, malware scanning, Secure Boot safeguarding, sandboxing, memory-integrity monitoring, and email attachment screening. Defender automatically scans when the system is idle and integrates with Microsoft OneDrive for data backup. It has achieved high scores in third-party evaluations, matching competitors like Bitdefender and Kaspersky with a 99.9% success rate in detecting known threats, though it struggles with zero-day attacks. Defender includes a built-in firewall, Smart App Control, and Edge browser security features. Its system impact can be resource-intensive during full scans, while quick scans are less demanding. The Windows Security Center serves as the hub for its features, and installation is automatic on new PCs, with robust support options available.
