❓ Questions for those who are running Dagster OSS in production
1. Which database are you using for *RunStorage? (*RDS PostgreSQL, on-premises MySQL, etc.)
2. How about the specs? (CPU and Memory)
👉 We're running a RDS Postgres

02/26/2024, 5:44 PMWe're running our prod setup on a $112 USD / mo cloud hosted kubernetes cluster, so we have ~100x more memory than you've noted above. But this cluster also does most of the compute that's launched by the Dagster instance as well.

things are getting nicer for these use cases (https://kubeblocks.io/) but I prefer the peace of mind of a managed db if you have a small team.

02/26/2024, 5:56 PMI agree with the peace of mind of a managed DB, especially when you upgrade your containers and just hope that Postgres reconnects to the right PVC. I mean everything should work, but who wants the anxiety?
Chris Roth
02/26/2024, 5:57 PMWe spend $100/mo on our managed DB, but that's running everything, not just our Dagster instance.
