• Database vendors need to become more involved in cloud-native computing to overcome scaling issues related to Kubernetes and stateful applications, according to attendees of the latestKubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023.
• Stateless applications benefit from containerization's inherent scalability, portability, and flexibility, but the database/container issue arises from the persistence of data and storage.
• There is not enough Kubernetes expertise available and the hybridization of stateful and serverless computing presents unique challenges for edge computing.
• While progress has been made, there is not yet a mature solution for cloud-native computing.
