05/08/2023, 10:13 PMHello folks, another question for y'all. We're evaluating SpiceDB and I see the docs explicitly recommend the K8s operator for deployment. Is there a reason why the operator is recommended over deploying an instance of SpiceDB using normal Kubernetes deployment methods?

05/08/2023, 10:14 PMMy team has experience deploying K8s manifests and usually sticks to pinned versions of image manifests, controlled migrations, etc. We also have run a distributed cache on K8s before ("groupcache"). I think the operator helps configure both, but maybe there's something else I'm missing

05/08/2023, 10:16 PMYou can (and people do) run on k8s without the operator. But we use it to run our production spicedb instances, and it makes it a lot harder to get some things wrong that folks often have issues with: setting up the distributed cache correctly, stepping through phased migrations correctly, etc.
automatic updates are optional, you can pin to a specific version if you'd like
