Overcoming the Challenges of Database Containerization with Three Shake and EDB

Three Shake and EDB Collaboration on Database Containerization Seminar

Three Shake Co., Ltd., headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo and led by President Takuma Yoshida, is pleased to announce a significant event in partnership with EnterpriseDB (EDB). The seminar titled, "Overcoming the Challenges of Database Containerization: Achieving True System Modernization with CloudNativePG and SRE/DBRE," is scheduled for September 8, 2026.

As application migration to the cloud progresses, databases often remain as the last frontier – a challenge due to their stateful nature, availability concerns, and operational expertise required for containerization. This seminar will delve into effective approaches for stable PostgreSQL deployment on Kubernetes, utilizing insights from the CloudNativePG project and the expertise of the SRE/DBRE team at Three Shake. Participants will gain an understanding of why containerization can become a hurdle and take home practical knowledge to achieve true system modernization.

Seminar Details

The containerization of databases is a critical yet challenging theme that many organizations struggle to tackle. At this seminar, the Three Shake DBRE team will first outline the reasons why this process can be obstructive, particularly from the perspectives of stateful characteristics, high availability, and operational automation.

Following that, EDB will comprehensively explain the CloudNativePG operator, specifically designed for Kubernetes. Attendees can expect live demonstrations on high availability configurations and automated operational mechanisms. This seminar aims to provide concrete steps for those exploring low-cost PostgreSQL operations on Kubernetes, regardless of specific cloud dependencies while moving away from legacy database management approaches.

Who Should Attend?

This seminar is recommended for individuals or organizations seeking to:

- Host low-cost PostgreSQL on Kubernetes with a managed-service-like operation.
- Operate PostgreSQL across multiple clouds or on-premises without being confined to a specific cloud vendor.
- Address operational challenges related to bare metal or VM hosting for on-premises PostgreSQL.

What You Will Gain

Attendees will walk away with insights on:

- The nature of the hurdles encountered in database containerization and strategies to overcome them.
- A comprehensive overview of Kubernetes-native PostgreSQL operation with CloudNativePG, emphasizing high availability and automation.
- A perspective on the next-generation database infrastructure that minimizes operational costs from an SRE/DBRE viewpoint.
