I brought Timescale to my current job, and I have to plug their Helm charts. They have made deployment, backup, scaling, and config so easy on k8s for Timescale. Probably the best postgres chart that exists, period. Great work TSDB team.

Yep, we like to eat our dog food =)

Timescale Forge, which I mentioned elsewhere, is based all around Kubernetes (including StatefulSets), which enables its decoupled compute/storage and instant pause/resume.

For that we employ helm charts, but also have additionally built k8s operators + more internally to handle the dynamic operation and reconfiguration you want from an "full lifecycle"-managed database service, while the helm charts are slightly more static.
