how do you handle ephemeral storage for stateful applications in Kubernetes?

Hey everyone, I'm wrestling with a challenge in our K8s environment. We're running some old stateful apps that need local ephemeral storage, but the pods keep getting rescheduled or evicted. This causes data loss, which is a real pain. I'm curious how others are handling this. Are you using specific storage classes, sidecar patterns, or maybe a totally different architecture to keep state alive when pods get churned? Looking for practical solutions and war stories.
