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.
