Speaking Events

Percona Live 2026 is back! Join the open source database community for three days of deep technical talks, hands-on workshops, and real conversations with people building and running MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, Valkey, and more in production.

Percona is proud to sponsor PGConf.dev, taking place May 19–22 in Vancouver, reinforcing our strong commitment to the open source ecosystem. As a company deeply rooted in the PostgreSQL community, Percona is excited to support and engage with developers and contributors who are shaping the future of PostgreSQL.

Traditional MySQL troubleshooting assumes you control the server, but in the cloud, that assumption is gone. In this session, Sveta Smirnova will explore practical, field-tested techniques for diagnosing MySQL issues when hardware visibility is limited.

Redis has been a key technology for many developers, companies, and open-source communities for years. With the emergence of Valkey, many people are now asking what this change means, what stays familiar, and what new opportunities are opening for the community.

PMM 3 introduces new observability capabilities with Real-Time Query Analytics and High Availability. In this session, Tibor Korocz will explore how these features help teams troubleshoot faster and build a more reliable monitoring setup.

Character collations - the rules for comparing and sorting character strings - are not universal, even languages which use the same characters may sort them differently. These rules may also not be stable, and the libraries implementing them may have errors, requiring fixes and updates. When character string data is indexed or partitioned under one set of rules, then queried under another, it may create some problems.
