PMM High Availability: Building Confidence Beyond Deployment
High Availability is more than deploying multiple nodes — it’s about ensuring the platform remains reliable during failures, upgrades, scaling events, and real-world operational challenges.
As PMM High Availability continues to evolve in Tech Preview, this session explores the key lessons learned from validating PMM HA. We will look at common challenges in testing distributed systems and how we addressed them for functional, failover, upgrade, performance, and resilience testing on Kubernetes.
This will include Why testing High Availability is fundamentally different from testing a single-node deployment Building a reliable PMM HA test environment on Kubernetes Functional testing strategies for High Availability Validating failover and recovery Testing rolling upgrades Scaling PMM to monitor hundreds of services and databases Chaos engineering and resilience testing Performance and load testing at scale
