Not having DBAs, the people with the actual skills to run the databases you need, available when you need them, certainly sounds like a business staffing problem, and not an engineering problem. Why are inexperienced developers managing databases in the first place? Or is this something people think you can just wing and be okay?

Who says ‘inexperienced developers are managing databases’? That is not the use case EDB is advocating with cnpg, EDB offers a Postgres DBaaS for developers.

The README [0] explains that CloudNativePG has been designed by Postgres experts with Kubernetes administrators in mind. Put simply, it leverages Kubernetes by extending its controller and by defining, in a programmatic way, all the actions that a good DBA would normally do when managing a highly available PostgreSQL database cluster.

Yeah, I like to call these sorta operators "half-managed". It automates some portion of your playbook.
