Percona and coroot partner to bring full-stack observability to open source database environments. Coroot Percona Edition combines visibility across applications, infrastructure, networks, and databases, automatically identifying the root cause of an issue and pointing teams to the fix, backed by Percona's world-class database expertise and support. AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Percona, a provider of open source database software, support, and services, today announced a partnership with Coroot, an open source observability company, to bring Coroot Percona Edition to Percona customers. As organizations adopt distributed, cloud-native, and Kubernetes-based infrastructure, identifying the cause of an application slowdown or outage often requires following signals across multiple layers of the technology stack. Database teams are increasingly troubleshooting issues that originate outside the database itself, creating a need for broader observability without sacrificing the deep database insight they already rely on. Coroot Percona Edition complements Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), which gives database teams deep visibility into database health, queries, replication, and other engine-specific internals. Coroot extends that visibility across the applications, networks, and infrastructure surrounding those databases, giving teams a broader view alongside PMM's database-level insight. Rather than surfacing another set of metrics to interpret, Coroot automatically traces an issue across that stack to its root cause, and for database-related findings, can route teams directly into a Percona Support case, shortening the path from detection to fix. "The database is at the center of critical applications, but it does not operate in isolation," said Peter Farkas, CEO of Percona. "Our customers need to understand what is happening both inside the database and across everything that depends on it. By combining Coroot's broader observability capabilities with Percona's database expertise and support, we can give teams a more complete picture of their environments, not just a symptom, but the root cause behind it, and help them get from identifying a problem to resolving it faster." Coroot Percona Edition provides visibility across the technology stack to help organizations understand dependencies and investigate incidents. Key capabilities include: * Automatic full-stack telemetry: Correlates signals across applications, networks, infrastructure, and databases, helping teams see how issues in one part of the environment affect another. * AI-powered root-cause analysis: Automatically analyzes telemetry to identify likely causes of incidents and provide supporting evidence, reducing the manual work required to connect signals across multiple systems. * Cloud-native observability: Designed for Kubernetes and other dynamic environments, maintaining visibility as services scale, infrastructure changes, and nodes move or disappear. * Greater deployment control: Supports self-hosted and fully air-gapped deployments, allowing organizations to keep observability data within infrastructure they control. * Percona expertise and integration: Combines Coroot's broader observability capabilities with Percona's database experience supporting open source databases and the environments they run in. This partnership will also support the development of deeper alignment designed specifically for Percona customers, including integrations with Percona Support, PMM, Percona Operators, OpenEverest, and Percona's database knowledge base. "Coroot was built to help engineering teams understand how complex systems behave as a whole," said Nikolay Sivko, CEO at Coroot. "By partnering with Percona, we can bring that broad visibility together with deep database expertise, helping customers connect what is happening across their applications and infrastructure back to the databases those systems depend on." About Percona Percona is an open source database software, support, and services company with a simple belief: organizations should have full control over their data infrastructure, without lock-in, without compromise, and without paying a vendor for the privilege of leaving.

Percona for MongoDB: RHEL 10, its derivatives, and Debian 13 - On both x86_64 and ARM. August 11, 2026 Percona is happy to announce that Percona Server for MongoDB (PSMDB) 8.0.28-12 extends platform support to RHEL 10 and its derivatives (Oracle Linux 10, Rocky Linux 10, AlmaLinux 10, and other RHEL-compatible distributions) for both x86_64 and ARM (aarch64) architectures. This release also adds support for Debian 13 "Trixie" on x86_64 and ARM64. Percona'll continue to support that for 8.0, 8.3, and newer releases. This is an important step for anyone planning infrastructure refreshes around the latest Linux releases, and it's especially notable for teams evaluating ARM to cut infrastructure spend without sacrificing performance. What's new in 8.0.28-12. Starting with this release, Percona Server for MongoDB packages are available for: * RHEL 10 and derivatives like Oracle Linux 10, Rocky Linux 10, AlmaLinux 10 on x86_64 and ARM (aarch64) * Debian 13 "Trixie" on x86_64 and ARM64 (aarch64) Additionally, starting this release, Percona has included Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) and Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX) for every release. SBOMs improve software supply chain transparency by documenting the components and dependencies included in a build. They are generated automatically as part of the release pipeline in the industry-standard CycloneDX format. OpenVEX files are published on GitHub Pages and provide the exploitability status of known vulnerabilities. For comprehensive information, refer to its [documentation](.../sbom.md). Ahead of upstream on Debian 13. As of this writing (August 2026), upstream MongoDB Community/Enterprise Server does not yet officially package or support Debian 13. Trixie isn't in MongoDB's supported platforms list, and the documented community workaround is to install the Debian 12 "Bookworm" build on Trixie hosts, since a native Trixie server build hasn't landed yet. PSMDB closes that gap now, with native Debian 13 packages rather than a buggy Bookworm build running out-of-distro. Why ARM is worth a serious look for MongoDB workloads. Percona has heard multiple times from you directly, via its forum, or on Reddit about the Interest in ARM for database workloads. Over the last few years, adoption has moved well past the experimental phase to resilient production readiness. Its adoption telemetry data show nearly 3x as many ARM instances over the last 12 months! I can see a number of benefits and reasons why its community users and customers adopted ARM over AMD or Intel CPU architectures: * Lower infrastructure costs. Cloud ARM instances, such as AWS Graviton, are commonly cited as running 20-40% cheaper than comparable x86 instances at similar or better performance (sanj.dev, "ARM vs x86 Cloud: Which Architecture is Cheaper in 2025?"), and benchmarking write-ups report up to 60% lower energy consumption for compute-intensive workloads on Graviton compared to x86 equivalents (nOps, "Are you missing out on AWS Graviton Cost Savings?"). * Competitive, and often better, throughput. RDS PostgreSQL Graviton" benchmark analysis shows Graviton4 delivering up to 40% better performance for OLTP-style workloads versus the previous Graviton3 generation. Apache Doris Delivers 70% Better Value on AWS Graviton. I can see MongoDB database achieving a similar level of performance-to-cost gain. * Memory bandwidth is a real differentiator. Graviton3's memory bandwidth (cited at roughly 115-120 GB/s) is reported to significantly outpace typical Intel Xeon configurations (roughly 60-70 GB/s) and AMD EPYC (roughly 80-90 GB/s) in independent comparisons (byteiota, "ARM vs x86 Cloud: 2025 Performance & Cost Benchmark"), which matters for memory-hungry workloads like MongoDB's WiredTiger cache and in-memory working sets. (Note: The above figures come from third-party blogs and vendor case studies rather than peer-reviewed benchmarks. Treat them as directional evidence that ARM is worth evaluating, not a guarantee of results for your specific workload. For the official recommendation based on your workload, reach out to Percona) Netflix has publicly stated that it saves over $15 million annually after migrating video encoding workloads to Graviton, while also seeing faster processing times, and other large-scale AWS customers have reported double-digit percentage reductions in compute costs after moving meaningful portions of their backend fleets to ARM (byteiota; sanj.dev). What to watch out for. One RHEL 10 detail to keep in mind when planning a migration: Red Hat raised the CPU baseline for x86_64 to the x86-64-v3 microarchitecture level, meaning the processor needs to support instruction sets such as AVX2 (Red Hat, RHEL 10 architecture documentation; vInfrastructure Blog). On the ARM side, RHEL 10 targets the ARMv8.0-A baseline (Red Hat documentation). This applies equally to Oracle Linux 10, Rocky Linux 10, and AlmaLinux 10, since they build from the same upstream sources. I highly recommend checking your current infrastructure before planning the move, especially for older bare-metal fleets. In general, but especially on ARM, remember that performance is workload-dependent. Some code paths and workloads leaning on x64-specific instruction extensions may not see the same gains as throughput-oriented, multi-threaded workloads on ARM. Benchmarking your own query patterns and index-heavy operations before a full cutover is essential. General benchmarks are a good signal, not a guarantee. Percona can help you get there. Migrating a production MongoDB deployment to a different infrastructure is a project with real decision points. There are a number of questions to answer around: Hardware or instance selection, driver and tooling compatibility, benchmarking against your actual workload, and a rollback plan. The Percona Services team helps customers plan and execute exactly this kind of migration. Percona start from initial architecture assessment and proof-of-concept benchmarking and go through to production cutover and post-migration tuning. If you're weighing a move to ARM, or just want to get onto RHEL 10 or Debian 13 without surprises, reach out to Percona to talk through your environment. Far enough. Said no pioneer ever.
