# Percona Community

> Community site for people who run databases in production: events, talks, blog posts, speakers, and how to contribute. Not a product docs portal and not a SaaS API — content and community first.

This file is a short map for AI agents and coding tools. Prefer these links over scraping every page.

## When to use this site

- Find upcoming or past Percona community events, meetups, and streams
- Look up talks, speakers, and talk videos
- Read practical blog posts about MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kubernetes, and related ops topics
- Learn how to contribute articles, talks, or open-source work
- Search community content (blog, talks, events, contributors) via the semantic search API or the on-site search page

Do not treat this site as the canonical product documentation for Percona Server, Operators, or PMM — use https://docs.percona.com/ for product docs.

## Search API (for agents)

Public semantic search over indexed community content. No API key required for `POST /search`.

- Developer docs: https://percona.community/developers/
- OpenAPI specification: https://percona.community/openapi.json
- Base URL: https://search.percona.community
- Health: https://search.percona.community/health
- Widget script: https://search.percona.community/community-search.js
- Site search page: https://percona.community/search/

Admin demo/docs/indexing endpoints on that host may require HTTP Basic Auth and are not for public agent use.
