2026 Events

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.

Building and distributing software for diverse Linux environments, like database servers and distributed systems, presents unique challenges in dependency management and lifecycle orchestration. In this session, Evgeniy Patlan will perform a deep dive into the packaging landscape, comparing the “gold standard” of native RPM and DEB tools against modern abstractions like CPack and nFPM.

Percona is taking part in the DB Mastery: In-Memory Databases summit on March 20, 2026. This virtual event focuses on how teams design and operate high-performance in-memory systems, covering low-latency data models, caching architectures, and scaling fast read/write workloads.

Setting up data-at-rest encryption correctly requires more than just flipping a switch. In this session, Konstantin Trushin will explain how Percona Server for MongoDB implements this critical security layer, covering the two-level key architecture and integration with industry-standard Key Management Systems (KMS) such as KMIP-compatible servers and HashiCorp Vault (along with its open source alternative, OpenBao).
