DEDICATTED
IT service provider specializing in Data, AI, Cloud, Development & Consulting. Running production workloads on Hetzner Cloud Kubernetes.
Database costs were eating the entire Kubernetes budget
MongoDB Atlas costs equal to entire 20-node Kubernetes cluster on Hetzner Cloud
Sky-high managed DB fees
Atlas pricing + egress traffic made the database the most expensive part of the infrastructure.
High latency
Every request crossed external network boundaries, adding unnecessary latency.
Operational complexity
Manual backups, scaling, upgrades, and zero-downtime migration were painful.
KubeDB: Production-grade MongoDB as Kubernetes-native DBaaS
Migrated to self-managed MongoDB using KubeDB operator with Stash backup solution
Automated lifecycle Daily encrypted backups to R2 Zero-downtime vertical scaling Prometheus monitoring Policy-driven governance GitOps-ready
How the cluster runs today
Single-click provisioning
KubeDB turned a complex MongoDB ReplicaSet into one simple Kubernetes resource.
Built-in high availability
Automatic failover, PodDisruptionBudgets, and multi-zone placement.
KubeStash backups
Incremental, encrypted daily backups to Cloudflare R2, fully automated.
Zero-downtime scaling
Vertical and horizontal scaling without restarting pods.
Full observability
Native Prometheus metrics + pre-built Grafana dashboards.
Enterprise security
TLS, RBAC, network policies, and Transparent Data Encryption.
Zero-downtime cutover from Atlas using mongosync + KubeDB OpsRequest
mongosync for live replication
Real-time sync between Atlas and in-cluster MongoDB with zero data loss.
Vertical scaling on-the-fly
Used KubeDB OpsRequest to double memory during sync without restarting pods.
Cutover in minutes
Commit sync → update connection strings → traffic resumed with zero downtime.
