+Jiva. We are planning tests on cStor and might switch to it.
+
+### Number of Applications: 
+varies between 20 and 50 
+
+### Names of the Stateful Applications: 
+The tools we are using or were using with OpenEBS: Bitwarden, Bookstack, Allegros Ralph, LimeSurvey, Grafana, Hackmd/Codimd, MinIO, Nextcloud, Percona XtraDB Cluster Operator, Nextcloud, SonarQube, Sentry, JupyterHub.
+
+### Our products
+Contente - CMS (more like Anything Management System, since it manages much more than just typical web content).
+Synapticall - Callcenter management software with automatic routing, call recording, call transcription, etc.
+
+### CI/CD powered review applications 
+All of the projects we are writing for our customers (e.g. based on our CMS, or on Symfony, or simple static pages, WordPress) have a preview version for each of the feature branches and production-like staging, the last one being always persistent. For those, we are using OpenEBS to keep our data persisted and to move it around the cluster. 
+
+### Cluster Type: 
+Baremetal with some nodes on KVM virtual machines
+
+### For whom 
+CodeWave and all of our current clients we are hosting code/stagings for.
+
+### Any short notes on use cases of why you selected OpenEBS. 
+
+The above applications use OpenEBS mostly for DB persistence (Mysql/Maria/Percona, Postgres, Mongo etc), for live file storage (typical uploads, media etc) and/or for backups. Our internal tools are installed manually and mostly are under manual control, while CI/CD powered deployments (of our products and projects for our clients) are fully automated, with auto PVC provisioning and management. 
+
+We started using OpenEBS over one year ago, mostly because we found it easier to use and a bit more stable on our cluster than it's competition. It's not the only way of supporting persistent apps, but currently, it's most often used in our case and OpenEBS StorageClass serves as our default SC.

+The goal was to be able to adapt the storage solution easily without too much knowledge about the solution. We don't want to hire a cloud administrator to handle the storage and configuration, instead we use a devops approach to simplify the process.
+
+With OpenEBS it is easy to switch storage solution (cStor, localpv) when we need. We use OpenEBS on premise and the nodes won't have internet access once the solution is deployed so we couldn't used external cloud solution.
+
+The configuration with Helm chart is well documented and easy to install. One thing that is missing, is a free UI to create cStor pools or partition disks or even update storage configuration.

+The vast majority of applications are able to better handle failover and replication than a block level device.  Instead of introducing another distributed system into an already complex environment, OpenEBS's localPVs allow us to leverage fast local storage.  Additionly, by leveraging ZFS we are able to have encryption at rest for all of our workloads, compression, and the piece of mind of  a COW based filesystem.  OpenEBS has allowed us to not introduce a complicated distributed system into our platform.  The adoption has been smooth and completely transparent to our end users.

+
+### Are you evaluating or already using in development, CI/CD, production?

+We are in the process of migrating our entire application stack to kubernetes, and so our environments are primarily evaluation. However, we are currently running customer workloads internally on our evaluation cluster, so OpenEBS is being used as close to production as it can be.

+
+Initially we used Portworx, but maintaining an external etcd cluster was troublesome for us and the cost of the setup was a bit excessive for an evaluation. So we evaluated OpenEBS as an alternative and it fit our needs well:
+- Relatively simple to install and configure (especially with recent versions).
+- Supports kubernetes-native operations.
+- Fast (Local PVs have had a noticeable improvement on the performance of our applications).
+- Very active project, good documentation, excellent support.
+
+Definitely happy with OpenEBS so far.

+### A brief description of the use case or details on how OpenEBS is helping your project
+SurplusCI uses ZFS LocalPV (where it previously used Ceph) to speed up DinD workloads running on our runners.
+
+The performance degradation of using Rook/Ceph (which is to be expected, it's there with Jiva/cStor and Mayastor to a lesser extent) and lack of a need for absolute high availability/durability on runner instances means that LocalPV gives superior performance, and the ability to even run things like Ceph on top of LocalPV.
+
+The disks connected to my nodes are known to be a little flaky so RAID1 is recommended and normally preinstalled (Hetzner), so I was considering going with one of two setups:
+
+- RAID1 (via mdadm) + openebs/rawfile-localpv (+/- Ceph/Jiva/cStor on top if needed)
+    - Problem here is that I'm not protected from faulty drives (via checksumming) unless using Ceph w/ Bluestore
+- RAID1 (via mdadm) on some disks + ZFS pool + openebs-zfs-localpv (+/- Mayastor/Ceph/Jiva/cStor/NFS on top if needed)
+    - Here I have reliable data at the bottom (mirrored pool & checksumming), access to speedy local disks when I need it (ex. databases), and ability to still use high availability/durability solutions with a slight performance hit using ZVOL block volumes)
+
+Obviously, in both situations OpenEBS is crucial to managing the underlying disks and providing dynamically provisioned PVs!
