We broke PostgreSQL 18 and MySQL 8.4 on Kubernetes 22 different ways - OOM kills, failed probes, bad Secrets, PVC and disk problems, config typos and version changes - and wrote down exactly what CrashLoopBackOff looked like each time, how to diagnose it in a minute, and which fixes actually work. Several 'fixed' pods came back Ready but broken.
We ran pod deletes, node drains, hard kills and network partitions against a 3-replica SQL Server Availability Group on Kubernetes while a probe wrote every 100ms. Here is what the testing surfaced, what we changed, and the result: 20 out of 20 fault runs with zero acknowledged writes lost.
