Kong without a datastore when deployed with K8S

Kubernetes

Hi,

Will it ever be possible to deploy Kong without a datastore when deployed with K8S?

Thanks,

Kunal

Kong requires a datastore (postgresql or cassandra) in order to operate, it doesn’t have a “db-less mode”.

You can have a database outside of K8S, and then deploy Kong with K8S by pointing kong to it. The network will have to be configured to allow traffic between the Kong instance and the db. You might have to modify the files in kong-dist-kubernetes in order to achieve this.
