helm: use StatefulSet with PVC for persistent storage#48
Merged
Conversation
Switch the default workload from Deployment to StatefulSet with a PersistentVolumeClaim, so databroker state and bootstrap config survive pod restarts. Bootstrap config is now written to the PVC instead of a Kubernetes Secret, removing the need for secret-patch RBAC. The previous Deployment behavior is preserved behind `persistence.enabled: false` for users who don't need local storage (e.g. when using an external databroker like PostgreSQL). New values: persistence.enabled (default: true) persistence.storageClass persistence.size (default: 1Gi) persistence.accessModes (default: [ReadWriteOnce])
Add createNamespace value (default: true) that renders a Namespace resource, so users no longer need --create-namespace on install. Set createNamespace: false if managing the namespace externally.
