Percona, a global leader in enterprise-grade open source database software and services, is launching its new database platform, Percona Everest, now generally available to the public.
Percona Everest is an open source, cloud-native database platform designed to deliver similar core capabilities and conveniences provided by database-as-a-service (DBaaS) offerings but without the burden of vendor lock-in and associated challenges, according to the company.
Percona Everest facilitates the work of developers, QA engineers, DevOps engineers, database administrators, and anyone who could benefit from self-serve deployment and management of MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB on Kubernetes.
Percona Everest simplifies database management and enables database deployment standardization across multiple clouds and environments. Percona Everest helps enterprises accelerate business operations through its reliable, scalable, and secure cloud-native database infrastructure architecture, according to the vendor.
“Percona Everest represents a paradigm shift in the management of cloud-native databases on Kubernetes,” said Ann Schlemmer, CEO at Percona. “After several years of significant growth in the public DBaaS market, organizations are pushing back against public DBaaS solutions that actively cultivate lock-in, limiting flexibility and driving up costs for customers. We developed Percona Everest to counter these issues, providing our customers with the conveniences of the leading public DBaaS offerings but without the limitations.”
Unlike traditional DBaaS offerings, Percona Everest does not function as hosted infrastructure, the company said. Instead, Percona Everest allows organizations to self-serve provision and manage highly performant, open source database clusters on Kubernetes using the infrastructure they control—whether it be a cloud of their choosing, on-premises, or both.
As a result, users of Percona Everest maintain control over mission-critical matters, including data access, database configuration, and costs associated with running databases in the cloud. Percona Everest extends the benefits of platform engineering to database provisioning and management.
Percona Everest brings together the automated provisioning and management of multiple databases across different environments, all within a single, intuitive, multi-cloud user interface.
By leveraging automation, users can create enterprise-ready database instances of MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL in minutes. Percona Everest enables the creation of databases pre-configured with optimal parameters and settings for available resources.
Percona offers enterprise-grade support for Percona Everest users and all their database deployments.
In keeping with Percona’s spirit of flexibility and choice, Percona Everest users can opt to manage their cloud-native database platform independently or with the help and support of Percona's team of database performance experts, the company said.
