CNCF End User Tech Radar, November 2020

summary
The CNCF End User Tech Radar shows Postgres outscores MySQL and core adopters list MySQL, Postgres, Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch and Memcached as safe bets, while Oracle and graph databases sit low. Several teams test cloud-native alternatives but cite migration cost, protocol compatibility and hiring as blockers. One team deploys TiDB operator to production after performance and reliability runs using Chaos Mesh, with backups and observability working well, and another finds Elasticsearch cheaper than AWS for their workload. RDS is too vague to categorize consistently.
