This article reeks of AI generation

I'm not sure I would say this is solved - having used CNPG with GKE, I ended up moving off of hosting Postgres inside of Kubernetes & moving to Cloud SQL and Spanner for storing state in my apps.

Few issues I found was that having stateful sets caused GKE to be unable to automatically update in my cluster setup. I had a read-write and read replica for a few postgres databases & the operator wasn't consistent with what pod id was read-writeable (you were able to retrieve this info from metadata though, so could script around it). Then having to setup backups to GCS manually & needing to ensure that they would work correctly to restore - easier to just pay GCP to deal with all of this with Cloud SQL.

What is this, AI slop? Kubernetes operators have been around for ages. Heck, the OReilly book on them (https://www.amazon.com/Kubernetes-Operators-Automating-Conta...) was published in 2020.
