Ask HN: Database Migrations in Kubernetes

2 points by psankar ↗ HN
If you use kubernetes (micro-services) for your application deployment, how do you handle database migrations ? Do you have any downtimes ? The choice of blue-green deployments, rollbacks etc. could cause an issue and I am trying to accumulate what the best practices are, tools/processes that are useful and what lessons you have learnt.

I think most people schedule downtime because this is a hard problem to solve gracefully. Every piece needs to support conditionals during the blue/green transition and db values complicate things more
