Hello,

As the title suggests, how do you manage your DBs for docker services.

Do you spin a new DB for every new docker cluster or do you have a centralized DB that is accessible to the docker clusters.

What are the pros and cons of both method?

For the moment, I spin a new DB for every services as I feel it is easier to backup the service in case of a problem.

    You say it’s easier to back up tightly coupled services and databases, but why?

    Because it is set and forget in my docker compose. I can backup the container and bring it down without affecting other services.

    But that is my inexperience talking and this is is why I wanted to see what other people were doing, and having perspective like yours to learn.
