90% believe Kubernetes is ready for stateful workloads, but few patterns or best practices exist for running data workloads on Kubernetes. The Data on Kubernetes Community (DoKC) facilitates the creation and sharing of techniques to help end users advance in their DoK journey.

DoKC is managed by Constantia.io. If your company wants to help shape the evolution of the DoK landscape, consider joining DoKC as a sponsor. For details about who’s involved and how DoKC plays a role, read the original announcement.

DoKC has produced a range of resources for end users looking to run DoK including:

• DoK Landscape. An interactive landscape of products and services for running data workloads on Kubernetes.
• Videos and Blogs. Over 700+ videos and blogs including how tos, tutorials, use cases, case studies, and more.
• DoK Reports. DoKC works with an independent research firm to annually produce the industry’s only DoK-focused report.
• Livestreams and Local Meetups. Weekly livestreams on DoK-related topics including demos, tutorials, visionary talks, panels, and more.
• DoK Days @ KubeCon. We host hybrid events for people to get together and learn in-person or online. Details are published on our main website.

You can connect with us in many ways. Below is a list of our primary channels to join discussions within DoKC:

• Slack - join thousands of other practitioners to discuss DoK.
• YouTube - hundreds of videos to learn DoK.
• Twitter @DoKCommunity - DoK-related content and info.
• LinkedIn - DoK-related content and info.

In November 2022, we will be adding Special Interest Groups (SIGs). When those are live, you can start contributing by attending SIG meetings and join the Slack channel.

Are you still confused about where to start? Maybe you saw an amazing talk at a recent DoK Day, and you’re hoping to host a talk yourself? Need help connecting with someone? There’s a lot of ways to participate and contribute to the DoKC community, and we’re here to help. Join DoK Slack #help channel and we’ll direct you.
