Over the previous few years, we’ve been constructing Percona Everest with a transparent objective in thoughts: to ship a robust but approachable DBaaS expertise on Kubernetes. Due to sturdy consumer and buyer adoption, Everest has grown right into a platform with hundreds of manufacturing clusters deployed and overwhelmingly constructive suggestions from the neighborhood.
As adoption grew, so did the imaginative and prescient. One theme we persistently heard from the neighborhood was a want to see Everest assist a good broader ecosystem of databases, effectively past these supported by Percona.
We listened fastidiously.
It grew to become clear to us that the Percona Everest you want shouldn’t be the very best match with the Percona Enterprise Mannequin, and as such, a unique answer is so as.
A New Chapter: OpenEverest
Percona Everest will turn into OpenEverest; it should retain the identical open supply (Apache 2.0) license and turn into a multi-vendor challenge constructed with open governance at its core. Our intention is to donate OpenEverest to the Cloud Native Computing Basis (CNCF), making certain long-term independence, transparency, and community-driven innovation.
To assist this subsequent section, a brand new firm referred to as Solanica has been shaped. Solanica is totally devoted to the success of OpenEverest and operates with the singular focus and agility required to construct a very broad, vendor-neutral database platform. Sergey Pronin, who has led Percona Everest for a number of years, and I’ll each be deeply concerned on this new enterprise.
Percona’s Ongoing Position
This variation doesn’t imply Percona is stepping away, fairly the other. Percona stays dedicated to OpenEverest and can actively contribute integrations and experience for the databases we all know greatest: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Valkey. Percona can even work carefully with Solanica to ship an distinctive expertise for customers operating these applied sciences on the OpenEverest platform.
