KubeArchive: Don't Use Kubernetes as a Database

Explore KubeArchive, a system for archiving Kubernetes objects to a database in real-time, in this 35-minute conference talk from DevConf.US 2024. Learn how KubeArchive addresses the challenges of managing infinite objects in Kubernetes clusters, particularly for completed workloads like Jobs, PipelineRuns, and TaskRuns. Discover how this solution, inspired by the Tekton community's approach, allows for efficient storage, pruning, and complex querying of archived objects. Gain insights into setting up KubeArchive to archive various cluster resources and utilizing its API for searching and querying stored data. Speakers Sam Koved and Greg Allen will demonstrate the system's functionality and discuss its roadmap and future plans, providing a comprehensive overview for those looking to optimize their Kubernetes object management.
