One is the new hotness and the other might be seen as old and stuffy - yet both Kubernetes and RDBMS are two powerful tools to have in your data scientist toolbox (or to help give to the data scientists you support). PostgreSQL will be the particular database we discuss but most of the points apply to any modern RDMS. There have been a lot of overlooked features added to PostgreSQL that will bring joy to data scientists.

The goal of this talk is to help you appreciate all the ways that adding Kubernetes and PostgreSQL to your team’s tools can improve everyone’s lives by:
Less data over the wire
Doing the analysis where the data lives
Repeatability
Horizontal scaling for analysis (even autoscaling)
Most importantly, cleaner separation of concerns
By the end you will understand why both your data scientists, your ops people, and even your application developers will love bringing these two well known tools together to do a majority of their work. Come for the questions, feedback and fun banter!
