Applications nowadays are distributed as microservices all over the cloud. Organizations use Kubernetes to manage these applications at scale, which has brought great flexibility and agility for development teams. However, microservices and multicloud applications have given rise to new challenges. Now, it is harder to configure communication between distributed services and secure the data in transit.

For more than a quarter of a century, people have been discussing “Which is better, MySQL or PostgreSQL?” — with no resolution. When people ask me which is better, I have to ask them what they want to do and how they want to do it. I’ll explain using a bad analogy: What type of car is best? This depends on your needs. If you want to go fast, a top fuel dragster will set you back close to a million dollars by the time you buy the chassis, spare engines, tooling, and transp
