    14  - To take a trial of KubeBlocks, and test the database function, or benchmarking with low-flow testing, see [Connect database in a testing environment](connect-database-in-testing-environment.md).
    15  - To connect a database in a production environment, or for a high-flow pressure test, see [Connect database in a production environment](connect-database-in-production-environment.md).
