Running Data Applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) - From Stateless to Stateful Workloads

Watch a 30-minute conference talk from OSA Con 2023 where Akshay Ram explores the evolution of Kubernetes from primarily hosting stateless applications to becoming a robust platform for stateful and data-intensive workloads. Learn how Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) has seen a doubling of clusters running stateful applications annually since 2019, now supporting diverse data applications including databases (Kafka, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), big data frameworks (Hadoop, Spark), analytics tools (Hive, Pig), and machine learning platforms (TensorFlow, PyTorch). Discover how modern data engineering tools like Airbyte, vector databases, and feature stores such as Qdrant, Weaviate, and Feast are embracing containers and Kubernetes as their default self-managed compute deployment option.
