Three Days in Prague with the Percona MongoDB Team

Mon, 19 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Our MongoDB team at Percona works remotely, spread across many countries and time zones. Most days that works well, but once in a while it helps to be in the same room. In October we met in Prague for three days to plan next year, look at how we work, and spend some time together away from our laptops.

Here is a short look at what we did and what we learned.

Every great journey needs a guide.

Ours just happened to be a mountain goat.

Fresh off a brand-new Percona branding reveal — complete with a rugged mountain goat mascot, a custom-made goat cake, and even a (surprisingly inspirational) LEGO mountain goat — we set out to bring our global Software Engineering team together in Turkey.
