Infra as Code Toolbox
HashiCorp for Database! Infra as Code, Database as Data
A database is a software that manages the data, and a control system is software that manages the database.
Pigsty adopts the design philosophy of Infra as Data, using a declarative configuration similar to Kubernetes, with a large number of optional configuration options to describe the database and the operating environment, and an idempotent preconfigured script to automatically create the required database clusters, providing a private cloud experience.
Pigsty creates the required database clusters from bare metal nodes in minutes based on a list of user config files.
For example, creating a one-master-two-slave database cluster pg-test on three machines requires only a few lines of config and a single command pgsql.yml -l pg-test to create a highly available database cluster as described in the following section.

Example: Customize PGSQL Clusters
