hey @U0479UCF48H - yep, we're aware of a number of users who have k8s deployments, will poke a few of them and see if they don't mind answering your question 🙂

FWIW, we've also seen a few folks with databases on the larger side increasingly opt for persistent XT node storage (e.g. EC2), and using the client/server XT API rather than the in-process version so that there's less data transfer required on node startup (if you're restarting your nodes ~frequently)

it's quite use-case dependent, though - the peer mode still goes a long way 🙂
