6.2. Removed internal PostgreSQL
In OpenShift Dev Spaces 3.6, the internal PostgreSQL database has been removed. The OpenShift Dev Spaces server no longer requires a database to persist workspaces and users' data. With this update, the OpenShift Dev Spaces server is a stateless application with high availability and rolling updates. This removal also results in lighter installation and less maintenance. For more information, see Eclipse Che Blog: Decommissioning the PostgreSQL database.
