Public cloud spending is slowing down. Quarter-over-quarter growth is no longer hitting 30% gains for AWS, Google, and Microsoft. This is businesses’ response to tough and uncertain macroeconomic conditions, where organizations scrutinize their public cloud spending to optimize and adjust. In this blog post, we will see how running databases on Kubernetes with Percona Operators can reduce your cloud bill when compared to using AWS RDS.

As any developer, I don’t like to write documentation. But if I am writing it, I would like to test that what I wrote works. I often found myself copy-pasting something from documentation and trying to run it in the terminal (commands, files, etc.), and it didn’t work. There are usually some environment, typos, or even wrong commands in the doc (that people copy-pasted from the wrong place).

Historically, this referred to things like parenting and cleaning the house. The definition has expanded in recent years to include tasks that used to be done by other people that most of us now do for ourselves, largely through self-service technology, like banking and travel booking.

Testing is a best-case scenario to validate the system's correctness. But, it doesn't predict the failure cases that may occur in production. Experienced engineering teams would tell you that production environments are not uniform and full of exciting deviations. The fun fact is – testing in production helps you test the code changes on live user traffic, catch the bugs early, and deliver a robust solution that increases customer satisfaction.
