Air-Gapped Deployment Support

Deploy in completely isolated environments without internet access. Perfect for secure, regulated, and classified workloads.

Operator vs Platform: What's the Difference?

KubeDB Operator provides database automation inside a single kubernetes cluster, while KubeDB Platform extends this into a centralized DBaaS across clusters, teams and environments.

KubeDB Operator

Best for teams that want to run and automate databases inside a Kubernetes cluster using declarative APIs.

Single cluster deployment
In-cluster automation
Kubectl-based management

KubeDB Platform

Designed for organizations that need to deliver a standardized, self-service DBaaS across multiple clusters, teams, and environments with centralized control and governance.

Multi-cluster control plane
Self-service portal
Policy-driven governance

Think of it this way:

The Operator is the engine. The Platform is the car.

Architecture Diagram

The Platform provides centralized control and governance, orchestrating multiple Operator instances across different clusters and environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about KubeDB Platform

KubeDB Operator runs and automates databases inside a Kubernetes cluster. KubeDB Platform builds on the Operator to deliver a centralized, multi-cluster DBaaS with governance, self-service, and visibility across teams and environments.
No. KubeDB provides a unified, all-inclusive platform. The Operator and Platform capabilities are part of the same solution, allowing you to start small and scale into a full DBaaS without changing products or licensing.
Start with Operator if: You're running databases in a single cluster or you want Kubernetes-native automation. Choose Platform if: You need DBaaS across teams or clusters, you require governance, RBAC, and visibility, or you are building an internal platform or managed service.
KubeDB runs on any Kubernetes distribution, including on-premises, public cloud, hybrid environments, and air-gapped deployments.

KubeDB supports a wide range of databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, ClickHouse, and more.
No. You can start with the Operator to run databases in a single cluster. The Platform becomes valuable when you need centralized management, multi-cluster visibility, and a full DBaaS experience.
