Using the 1997 film "Titanic" as an allegory, the article creatively reimagines the Titanic disaster through the lens of modern technology, particularly Kubernetes and distributed databases. It compares the ill-fated ship to a single-instance database, highlighting its vulnerabilities and lack of disaster recovery capabilities, which led to its tragic sinking. The author proposes a scenario where the Titanic operates like a distributed system, with multiple ships, representing a distributed database, ensuring redundancy and fault tolerance. This setup would prevent a single point of failure, much like Kubernetes manages containerized applications across a cluster to ensure high availability and resilience. By likening characters Rose and Jack to Kubernetes and CockroachDB, the text illustrates the transformative potential of these technologies, suggesting that with distributed architecture, the original Titanic's catastrophe could have been avoided, allowing the story to end happily without loss of life.
