KubeDB

KubeDB by AppsCode is a Kubernetes-native Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform that enables platform teams to deliver self-service, policy-controlled databases across Rancher-managed Kubernetes environments. Using Kubernetes-native APIs and workflows, KubeDB automates database provisioning, scaling, upgrades, backups, and recovery while supporting deployments on-premises, in public cloud, at the edge, and even in air-gapped environments. For organizations running multiple clusters with SUSE Rancher, KubeDB provides a consistent way to manage databases across hybrid infrastructure. Platform teams can standardize database operations, enforce governance and multi-tenancy policies, and offer 25+ different approved database services such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis, etc. to development teams without the operational overhead of managing individual database clusters per team. Together, Rancher and KubeDB extend Kubernetes platforms from cluster management to full platform services, enabling organizations to build internal developer platforms with integrated database services. The result is portable, policy-driven database operations across every Rancher cluster, helping teams modernize database management while maintaining control and operational consistency.
