"Percona is now "passing" its Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform known as Everest to become a full open source project. Logically named OpenEverest, the stewardship of this project will be taken on by Solanica, a newly formed company, positioned as a cloud-native database platform player that specialises in running and managing data workloads anywhere. Solanica claims to enable users to get their first database up and running in minutes..."
"Data practitioners at Percona suggest that this move is timely, especially given the fact that sovereign data controls are currently growing in importance. IDC analyst Rahiel Nasir commented on LinkedIn recently to say that the sovereign cloud market is estimated to be worth $400billion by the end of the current year."
""Over the past few years, we've been building Percona Everest with a clear goal in mind: to deliver a powerful yet approachable DBaaS experience on Kubernetes," blogged Peter Zaitsev, founder and CEO of Percona. Adoption first, then vision But says the enigmatic Zaitsev, as adoption grew, so did the vision. One theme the team consistently heard from the community was a desire to see Everest support an even broader ecosystem of databases, well beyond those supported by Percona. "We listened carefully," he pledged."
Percona is transferring its Everest DBaaS to become the open source OpenEverest under new steward Solanica, a cloud-native database platform company. Solanica promises rapid database provisioning, enabling users to get a first database running in minutes, and positions OpenEverest to run and manage data workloads anywhere. Percona will remain involved but is expanding into other areas. Growing sovereign data controls and a large sovereign cloud market opportunity reinforce demand for Kubernetes-based DBaaS that avoids vendor lock-in by supporting teams' choice of databases and platforms. Community feedback drove a vision for broader ecosystem support beyond Percona's commercial model.
