From Amsterdam to the Community: September at Percona

Welcome to the Pulse of Open Source. Percona’s monthly community newsletter is your invitation to the open source table, bringing together the latest from Percona, what’s brewing across our products and projects, and the people, ideas, and conversations shaping the database community we’re proud to be part of.

Percona Live Amsterdam is a Wrap!

Percona Live Amsterdam 2026 was a huge success, bringing the database and open source communities together for three incredible days of learning, connection, and conversation.

A huge thank you goes to all of our speakers, who shared valuable insights, real-world experiences, technical expertise, and fresh perspectives with attendees throughout the event. Percona Live Amsterdam 2026 talks are now available to watch on the Percona YouTube channel in the Percona Live Amsterdam 2026 playlist.

We’re also incredibly grateful to all of our sponsors for helping make Percona Live possible, with a special thank you to our Platinum Sponsors, VillageSQL and AWS, for their support.
