Patroni Backups: when pgBackRest and Argo CD have your back (literally)
Patroni Backups: when pgBackRest and Argo CD have your back (literally)

Your database backup strategy shouldn't be the thing that takes your production systems down.

Ziv Yatzik manages 600+ Postgres clusters in a closed network environment with no public cloud. After existing backup solutions proved unreliable — causing downtime when disks filled up — his team built a new architecture using pgBackRest, Argo CD, and Kubernetes CronJobs.

In this episode:

  • Why storing WAL files on shared NAS storage prevents backup failures from cascading into database outages
  • How GitOps with Argo CD lets them manage backups for hundreds of clusters by adding a single YAML file
  • The Ansible + Kubernetes hybrid approach that keeps VM-based Patroni clusters in sync with Kubernetes-orchestrated backups

A practical blueprint for making database backups boring, reliable, and safe.
