h4. What option from Community shows better?
* https://github.com/CrunchyData/postgres-operator
PS:
* Better doc
* This one is in the [operatorhub.io|https://operatorhub.io/?category=Database] and the other not
h4. What image and version we are using currently in the specs of the MSSDB CR?
* The imaged used in this project is from Red Hat. See more in https://docs.okd.io/latest/using_images/db_images/postgresql.html
* image: "centos/PostgreSQL-96-centos7"
PS.: The MSS project was developed and tested so far with PostgreSQL 9.6
h4. Pros and Cons of change the current implementation for it
||PROS (+)||CONS (-) ||
|Has a bkp feature implemented|It has many features and we need to understand how to set up , configure and use|
|It can be deprecated and/or discontinued. PS.: It has not a big community and or many contributors so far anyway. |Show that we will need to use their images and not the RedHat ones, however, shows that their image is based on centos |
|Show has good documentation|We may face some issues and limitations as for example, we will be not able to do some specific setup and or fix some issue and/or have the status for the RHMI as we have currently |
|It can be deprecated and/or discontinued | We need to spend an effort to try to make it work as a dependency and handled by the operator for 3.11 mini shift and in OCP 4|
|| May it will increase the complexity unnecessarily |
h4. Conclusion:
IMHO we should keep the database as a type for now and do not care over at least currently. Following the reasons
* The current implementation attends all our needs and is quite simple and easy to keep maintained, changed, replaced, disabled etc..
* Also, the current implementation allows we easily, without any code change, make the MSS use another database and/or disabled this type, change the image and/or its versions as the parameters and values used
* IMHO add now the CrunchyData shows spend unnecessary effort and could make it more complex
