All in on open source: OpenSource DB & Percona at PGConf India 2026. By Admin / March 9, 2026 OpenSource DB and Percona, the global leader in open-source database software, support, and services, and together OpenSource DB Company'll be at PGConf India 2026 in Bengaluru. Percona is a Gold Sponsor at this year's conference, and its team will be right there at the Percona booth, ready to strike up Postgres conversations with anyone who stops by. Both OpenSource DB and Percona believe that open-source databases should power the world's most important systems, without compromise, without vendor lock-in, and without cutting corners on reliability. And the proof is already in production. OpenSource DB and Percona are today delivering open-source database services to some of the most critical technology projects in India, systems that serve Indian Railways, the Indian Tax Department, and other institutions that hundreds of millions of people depend on every single day. These are not just high-traffic systems, they are mission-critical national infrastructure. The stakes don't get higher than this. Why Percona? Percona has spent over 18 years doing one thing exceptionally well: making open-source databases - PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and more - enterprise-ready, without proprietary lock-in. What sets Percona apart is not just software; it's the philosophy. Every tool Percona builds is open source. Every piece of expertise Percona develops is shared with the community. And every enterprise deployment Percona supports is backed by the kind of deep engineering knowledge that only comes from working on the hardest database problems on the planet. Here is what Percona brings to its partnership: Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL A battle-hardened, fully open-source PostgreSQL distribution - combining the latest upstream releases with the best community extensions, all tested and supported together. Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) Comprehensive, open-source database observability. Query analytics, performance dashboards, and alerting - all without a SaaS subscription or a usage-based billing surprise. Enterprise-Grade Support, Zero Lock-In 24/7 expert support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB - with the freedom to run your databases anywhere, on your terms. What only OpenSource DB + Percona can deliver? Some of the most demanding database environments in the world are not running on proprietary platforms. They are running on PostgreSQL and MySQL, at extraordinary scale, with extraordinary uptime requirements. These environments need more than software - they need experienced engineers who understand both the platform and the problem. That is what this partnership is about. "The most reliable databases are the ones built on open standards, operated by people who truly understand them, and supported by tools that belong to everyone. That's the combination we're bringing to India." Find OpenSource DB Company at PGConf India 2026.

Good bye Percona Everest, hello OpenEverest! Over the past few years, Percona has been building Percona Everest with a clear goal in mind: to deliver a powerful yet approachable DBaaS experience on Kubernetes. Thanks to strong user and customer adoption, Everest has grown into a platform with thousands of production clusters deployed and overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community. As adoption grew, so did the vision. One theme Percona consistently heard from the community was a desire to see Everest support an even broader ecosystem of databases, well beyond those supported by Percona. It became clear to Percona that the Percona Everest you desire is not the best fit with the Percona Business Model, and as such, a different solution is in order. A new chapter: OpenEverest. Percona Everest will become OpenEverest; it will retain the same open source (Apache 2.0) license and become a multi-vendor project built with open governance at its core. Its intention is to donate OpenEverest to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), ensuring long-term independence, transparency, and community-driven innovation. To support this next phase, a new company called Solanica has been formed. Solanica is fully dedicated to the success of OpenEverest and operates with the singular focus and agility required to build a truly broad, vendor-neutral database platform. Sergey Pronin, who has led Percona Everest for several years, and I will both be deeply involved in this new venture. Percona's ongoing role. This change does not mean Percona is stepping away, quite the opposite. Percona remains committed to OpenEverest and will actively contribute integrations and expertise for the databases Percona know best: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Valkey. Percona will also work closely with Solanica to deliver an exceptional experience for users running these technologies on the OpenEverest platform. What this means for you. For users, this transition unlocks exciting benefits: * Faster development driven by a highly focused team and an expanded community * Support for a wider range of database technologies * A stronger, more flexible platform with open governance and vendor neutrality Existing Percona Everest customers will see no immediate changes. Percona remain fully committed to honoring current contracts and will work closely with you on a smooth, well-planned transition to OpenEverest builds over time. Want to get involved? There are many ways to participate in the OpenEverest journey: * Join the community and contribute ideas, code, or feedback * Try OpenEverest and help shape its roadmap through real-world usage * Partner with Solanica or Percona to build integrations and solutions * Follow the project to stay up to date on releases and milestones Percona is incredibly proud of what Percona Everest has become, and even more excited about what OpenEverest will become with the power of an open, global community behind it.

Today, Percona is proud to announce the release of OpenID Connect (OIDC) support for Percona Server for MongoDB, the source-available, enterprise-grade MongoDB-compatible database solution trusted by developers and IT leaders globally.
