That first debate was so fun, what do you think: #PostgreSQL on Kubernetes - just because you can, doesn't mean you should? Or match made in heaven (get it, because it's cloud native?!)?
Get ready to discuss the benefits and drawbacks with autotuning: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJYE...

Autotuning for #PostgreSQL promises time savings, fewer errors, and smarter performance—but is it always a win?
What about over-tuning, lack of context, or hidden overhead? Can automation really replace expert judgment?
