We Stuck Minecraft on a Kubernetes Cluster and Observed it with Open Source

Oct 8, 2026

Why did we do this? Not important: jump to 1:31 to see the Pis.

TL;DR: We stuck Minecraft on kubernetes running on 4 Raspberry Pis in a 3D-Printed case, and monitored it with open source observability.

Huge thanks to Percona DBA Ivan Zaitsev for putting the demo together for Percona University, Montevideo.
