Open source database software, support and consulting for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB
Percona sells open source database software plus support and consulting across MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, with a stack spanning Kubernetes, OpenShift, all major clouds and a Prometheus/Grafana/VictoriaMetrics observability layer. Hiring is accelerating and split evenly between engineering and support, while projects center on AI-first service delivery automation and a new AWS practice — a push to scale services without scaling headcount linearly.
