I wouldn't have put a database on k8s five years ago, but today the options are a lot better for persistent and resilient storage on k8s and there are pretty significant advantages to being able to normalize your deployment platform. I use CrunchyData's Postgres operator on top of Longhorn volumes for most of my stuff and being able to have what amounts to one-click deployment of multi-host-redundant, automatically backed-up databases is really nice.

The Percona Everest operator doesn't look as full-featured for Postgres, which is the only database I typically use, so this isn't for me, but might be a little better if you're a MySQL user (though that's just me guessing).
