Open source users get first access to next-generation infrastructure coming to our entire platform.
The Testkube open source agent lets you schedule and run any test inside your Kubernetes clusters for free: one agent, one cluster, managed entirely through CLI. But with Agent 2.2, we're doing something that flips the typical open source dynamic on its head.
You're getting the future of our platform infrastructure first.
PostgreSQL: Proving Ground for Platform Evolution
We're migrating our open source agent from MongoDB to PostgreSQL. This is the same architectural transformation coming to our entire commercial platform by Q4 2025. This means our open source community becomes the proving ground for improvements that will eventually benefit all Testkube users.
Why are we doing this backwards? Because we believe in shipping infrastructure changes that work, not infrastructure changes that look good in demos. By the time PostgreSQL reaches our commercial customers, it will have been battle-tested by thousands of open source deployments.
Why PostgreSQL Changes Everything
Licensing Freedom
MongoDB's Server Side Public License creates potential compliance concerns for enterprise environments. PostgreSQL's permissive MIT-style license eliminates licensing liability for our users entirely. No restrictions, no compliance overhead, no legal uncertainty.
Simpler Operations
PostgreSQL's operational footprint is lighter and more predictable than MongoDB. Less memory overhead, cleaner configuration, fewer moving parts to manage.
Better Performance
Faster query execution for test results and artifacts, especially as your test history grows. PostgreSQL handles concurrent reads more efficiently, which matters when multiple pipelines are checking results simultaneously.
Industry Standard
Your ops team already knows PostgreSQL. No specialized MongoDB expertise required, no additional training overhead, no exotic troubleshooting scenarios.
Battle-Tested Foundation
This same migration will power our commercial platform by year-end. You're experiencing our architectural future today, ensuring it actually works before we roll it out at scale.
Everything Else Stays the Same
All your existing workflows, triggers, and webhooks continue working exactly as before. Same CLI commands, same API endpoints, same Kubernetes CRDs. The only difference is what's running under the hood and how much better it performs.
More Than Just Open Source
This release demonstrates something important about how we approach open source: we use it to build better software together. Our OSS community helps us build better software by testing major architectural changes in real-world scenarios. In return, you get access to next-generation infrastructure before anyone else.
Commercial customers benefit too. When PostgreSQL reaches our platform, whether you're running your own Control Plane or using our managed service, you'll get improvements that have been proven in production across thousands of diverse deployments.

Get Started Today
Testkube Agent v2.2 is available now from our GitHub repository. If you find it valuable, we'd appreciate a star ⭐ to help others discover it.
Existing users can upgrade using standard Helm procedures, while new installations get PostgreSQL by default.
For teams just getting started with cloud-native testing, this release makes the open source agent more accessible than ever. Install it in your cluster, point your tests at it, and experience what our platform's future feels like in practice.
Testing in Kubernetes just got more reliable and a lot less complicated.
