Install TimescaleDB on Kubernetes

URL: llms-txt#install-timescaledb-on-kubernetes

Contents:

• Prerequisites
• Integrate TimescaleDB in a Kubernetes cluster
• Install with Postgres Kubernetes operators

You can run TimescaleDB inside Kubernetes using the TimescaleDB Docker container images.

The following instructions are for development and testing installations. For a production environment, we strongly recommend that you implement the following, many of which you can achieve using Postgres tooling:

• Incremental backup and database snapshots, with efficient point-in-time recovery.
• High availability replication, ideally with nodes across multiple availability zones.
• Automatic failure detection with fast restarts, for both non-replicated and replicated deployments.
• Asynchronous replicas for scaling reads when needed.
• Connection poolers for scaling client connections.
• Zero-down-time minor version and extension upgrades.
• Forking workflows for major version upgrades and other feature testing.
• Monitoring and observability.

Deploying for production? With a Tiger Cloud service we tune your database for performance and handle scalability, high availability, backups, and management, so you can relax.

To follow the steps on this page:

• Install [self-managed Kubernetes][kubernetes-install] or sign up for a Kubernetes [Turnkey Cloud Solution][kubernetes-managed].
• Install [kubectl][kubectl] for command-line interaction with your cluster.
