DASH: How to Evaluate Kubernetes-Native Databases

The DASH Framework is a set of principles that help evaluate how Kubernetes-native any database is. It stands for Disposability, API Symmetry, Shared Nothing, and Horizontal Scaling. These principles are crucial in ensuring the seamless functioning of databases within a Kubernetes environment. Traditional relational databases often fail to meet these standards due to their architecture not being designed for cloud environments. On the other hand, NoSQL databases can handle failures but may compromise data consistency. Distributed SQL databases like CockroachDB are built from the ground up to work seamlessly with Kubernetes and other microservices, making them a better choice for cloud-native architectures.
