Hear from Flipkart on how it has successfully scaled its Aerospike deployment with Kubernetes.

In this session, Sharath B. P., Software Architect at Flipkart, and Sandesh Kumar Gupta, Software Development Engineer at Flipkart, share how their team has successfully scaled its Aerospike deployment with Kubernetes (K8s, using a central Database as a Service (DBaaS) team to manage it. They transitioned from VM-based deployments to Kubernetes to improve cluster management, scalability, and resource utilization.

Highlights covered:

🌱 Aerospike is widely used at Flipkart for various workloads, including caching, data storage, and more.

🌱 The DBaaS team was established to standardize, improve reusability, and enhance developer productivity.

🌱 Automation-first approach and Kubernetes adoption enabled efficient cluster management and scalability.

🌱 Guardrails and policies ensure resource separation, efficiency, and performance.

🌱 The Kubernetes operator offers seamless scaling and management features, including PVC scaling.

🌱 The deployment lifecycle is driven by code through a CI/CD pipeline, simplifying infrastructure management.
