Your database is just one piece of the puzzle—modern applications also rely on message queues and caching layers to scale efficiently. But where should these components live? Should you run everything inside Kubernetes, mix-and-match with managed cloud services, or go full serverless?

This talk dives into the architectural trade-offs between different deployment models, exploring performance bottlenecks, security risks, and cost implications. We’ll cover real-world use cases of hybrid setups, where applications inside Kubernetes interact with serverless databases, external queues, and globally distributed caches.

Whether you’re building high-performance systems or tackling data consistency challenges, this session will provide a clear framework for designing a modern, scalable data infrastructure—without waking up to 3 AM incidents.
