Often, it isn’t performance, it’s the strict requirements for security, compliance, and high availability. After twenty years of adapting open source databases for the enterprise, it has become clear that features like Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and strong identity management (OIDC) are deciding factors.Kai WagnerJan WieremjewiczPostgreSQLPGConf Germany 2026https://2026.pgconf.de/Essen, Germanyhttps://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-04-21-don-t-oidc-yourself-in-the-foot-postgres-18-s-new-auth-explained/https://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-04-21-don-t-oidc-yourself-in-the-foot-postgres-18-s-new-auth-explained/ Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:00:00 UTCPostgres 18 adds native support for OAuth and OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication, one of the most significant security-related changes in years. While widespread adoption will take time, since the feature requires client-side support and external validators, it is already possible to experiment with command-line clients like psql together with validators such as pg_oidc_validator.Zsolt ParragiPostgreSQLOIDCPGConf Germany 2026https://2026.pgconf.de/Essen, Germanyhttps://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-04-21-everything-you-need-to-know-about-collations/https://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-04-21-everything-you-need-to-know-about-collations/ Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:00:00 UTCOutside of causing trouble for you when upgrading libc what are collations good for?

This architectural pattern, mainly born from the high cost of process forking in older operating systems, is often treated as gospel. But what if this long-held wisdom is now outdated? It’s time to do a reality check to see whether those old observations, remarks and premises are still relevant or not, considering the underlying technology stack had drastically changed over decadesJobin AugustinePostgreSQLDevperformancePGConf India 2026https://pgconf.in/conferences/pgconfin2026Bengaluru, Indiahttps://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-03-10-gitops-for-mysql-audit-compliance-centralized-log-filter-management-with-opentofu-terraform/https://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-03-10-gitops-for-mysql-audit-compliance-centralized-log-filter-management-with-opentofu-terraform/ Tue, 10 Mar 2026 00:00:00 UTCJericho Riveraopen-sourcehardwarelinuxweb3securityPostgreSQLenglishVideoSlidesFOSSASIA Summit 2026https://summit.fossasia.orgBangkok (Thailand)https://eventyay.com/e/88882f3e/session/10249https://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-03-08-enterprises-play-dirty/https://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-03-08-enterprises-play-dirty/ Sun, 08 Mar 2026 00:00:00 UTCFrom Red Hat to MongoDB, major vendors are increasingly adopting tactics designed to protect market power, limit competition, and restrict user freedom.

While some view them as relics, we cannot neglect the unique benefits of their decentralized, archival nature. Rather than fighting over platforms or ignoring the friction, Hackorum asks a simpler question: Why not just improve the user experience?Hackorum transforms the daunting mailing list “firehose” into a modern, forum-style interface without breaking the underlying email culture. It is designed to lower the barrier for new contributors while providing power tools for veterans:Seamless Integration: Real-time sync between mailing lists and daily sync of the Commitfest status.Modern UX: Per-message read tracking, tagging, and contributor profiles.Enhanced Coordination: Shared notes and mentions to streamline complex reviews.We have to stay open minded and willing to expand our horizon and as such Hackorum is rapidly evolving. While our roots are in development, we are currently expanding to include broader mailing lists like -general and -docs. Our goal is to make the entire Postgres ecosystem more accessible and usable for everyone. Join us for a demo of the latest updates and help us shape the future of Postgres communication. https://hackorum.dev/Kai WagnerPostgreSQLPostgreSQL Berlin March 2026 Meetuphttps://www.meetup.com/postgresql-meetup-berlin/events/313412510/Berlin, Germanyhttps://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-02-20-are-we-ready-for-self-driving-databases/https://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-02-20-are-we-ready-for-self-driving-databases/ Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTCPeter Zaitsev asks the fundamental question: are we actually ready for self-driving databases?

This tool started as a simple continuous backup solution for Point-in-time Recovery (PITR). The Binary Log Server has a huge potential to become a first-class citizen in the MySQL infrastructure with multi-tenant support, REST API for management, and basic event data querying capabilities. The Binary Log Server can also serve as an intermediate link in complex replication topologies. It supports local file storage and AWS S3 for keeping binlog data and can be easily extended with other storage providers. https://github.com/Percona-Lab/percona-binlog-serverYura SorokinMySQLVideoMySQL Belgian Days (preFOSDEM) 2026https://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/events/mysql-belgian-aka-pre-fosdem-days/Belgian, Brusselshttps://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-01-30-bringing-flamegraphs-to-mysql-query-optimization/https://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-01-30-bringing-flamegraphs-to-mysql-query-optimization/ Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTCBrendan Gregg developed flame graphs, which provide a powerful way to visualize hierarchical data. Later on, Tanel Poder introduced the same concept for Oracle queries. This time, I’m bringing this idea for the first time as an open-source project to MySQL. Using the new JSON format for MySQL, we can now perform detailed query analysis based on the actual execution plan, displaying the query’s internal operations in a way that can be programmatically consumed and visualized. In this session, we will walk through how to transform raw execution-plan data into flame graphs and explore the benefits that visualization brings and how it helps us to interpret and diagnose query behavior.Vinicius GrippaMySQLVideoMySQL Belgian Days (preFOSDEM) 2026https://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/events/mysql-belgian-aka-pre-fosdem-days/Belgian, Brusselshttps://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-01-29-a-quick-intro-to-mysql-json-duality-views/https://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-01-29-a-quick-intro-to-mysql-json-duality-views/ Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTCWhat are JSON Duality Views?

Considering you are using an operator, you can easily and quickly deploy a new database environment in the cloud that is highly available and comes pre-configured with backups. But do we get the same performance from our database compared to running it in the same cloud but without Kubernetes? After all, the latter implies using containers on top of an already virtualized environment, over which we have less control.Fernando Laudares CamargosMySQLVideoSlidesMySQL Belgian Days (preFOSDEM) 2026https://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/events/mysql-belgian-aka-pre-fosdem-days/Belgian, Brusselshttps://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1l3ZKxfgQM6DUMeCTjVFzYTPxdlmUQTZ6UPs4nLKNbIA/edit?usp=sharinghttps://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-01-29-what-happens-when-you-run-a-10-tb-mysql-database-on-kubernetes/https://percona.community/talks/2026/2026-01-29-what-happens-when-you-run-a-10-tb-mysql-database-on-kubernetes/ Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTCThat’s the question many of our customers and users asked and honestly, we were extremely curious ourselves.So, I ditched the weekend plans, rolled up my sleeves, and jumped down the rabbit hole.

While proprietary solutions exist and major patch sets have been proposed, the topic continues to spark debate on the hackers mailing list, with no clear path forward. Our team decided to take a different approach: instead of building TDE directly into PostgreSQL, we explored how far we could go by implementing it as an extension, pushing core changes only where extensibility improvements were needed. This has been, and still is, a demanding project. Along the way, we have built multiple prototypes, hit dead ends, and uncovered design trade-offs that were not obvious at the start. In this talk, we will share the technical lessons from our journey: what failed, what succeeded, how our extension-based approach actually works, and which challenges remain unsolved.Zsolt ParragiPostgreSQLSecurityOpen SourceSlidesPGConf EU 2025 Rigahttps://2025.pgconf.euRiga, Latviahttps://www.postgresql.eu/events/pgconfeu2025/sessions/session/7191/slides/807/PGConf%20EU%202025%20Riga%20TDE%20slides.pdfhttps://percona.community/talks/2025/2025-10-22-what-implementing-pg-tde-taught-us-about-postgresql/https://percona.community/talks/2025/2025-10-22-what-implementing-pg-tde-taught-us-about-postgresql/ Wed, 22 Oct 2025 00:00:00 UTCThis is a firsthand account of bringing Transparent Data Encryption to PostgreSQL through pg_tde . From idea to patch proposals, it’s a story of navigating PostgreSQL’s internals, Community realities, and trade-offs between extension and core changes. Why weren’t existing hooks enough? What friction did we hit? How was the experience with the Community feedback cycle? What customer feedback shaped the final design and how did users react to the proposed solutions?

A essência do conceito permanece a mesma: se algo der errado com o servidor principal, os dados continuam disponíveis “online” na réplica. Mas a maneira como essa solução é implementada evoluiu bastante. Aliás, hoje contamos com mais de uma opção. Recentemente, me encontrei trabalhando em três projetos muito similares envolvendo HA para MySQL e continuidade de serviço. Porém, os requisitos de cada um eram tais que me vi sugerindo uma implentação diferente em cada caso. Nessa apresentação, uso as características desses projetos como pano de fundo para destacar as diferenças entre a replicação assíncrona traditional e a semi-síncrona, que hoje pode ser implementada tanto com o plugin Galera, utilizado pelo Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) e MariaDB Cluster, quanto pelo Group Replication, que constitui a base do InnoDB Cluster.Fernando Laudares CamargosMySQLMySQL BR Conf 2025São Paulo, Brazilhttps://percona.community/talks/2025/2025-09-30-kubernetes-from-the-database-out/https://percona.community/talks/2025/2025-09-30-kubernetes-from-the-database-out/ Tue, 30 Sep 2025 00:00:00 UTCYou already know your Postgres, but you’re being asked to work with this Kubernetes thing.

Yet, some of the most widely used databases, like MySQL and PostgreSQL, remain single-node by design, relying on third-party sharding solutions like Citus or Vitess for distribution. This raises a critical question: do we always need to go distributed, or can replicated single-node databases meet most use cases? In this talk, we’ll explore the trade-offs between distributed and non-distributed architectures, evaluate the limits of single-node databases, and discuss when it truly makes sense to embrace distribution.

It’s not about which Operator you are using to deploy your database to Kubernetes it’s about what you are trying to accomplish with what you are deploying. A quick search on OperatorHub.io lists 49 Database focused Operators and 11 PostgreSQL operators. Each have their own speciality and each have their own lifecycle. Choosing one today as it’s best fitting may no longer be the case soon. I argue that ranking one as better than the next is ineffective, instead you should be focused on the ‘what do I want to do,’ with my database deployment.

It is one of the Top 5 databases in the world, and it is fully open source and community driven. But, PostgreSQL, the “Emperor” of databases, has no clothes! For all intents and purposes Slonik is “walking around naked” because there is no open source TDE solution to keep the elephant clothed. Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is the way that data at rest protection can be done on the database level, ensuring the data is encrypted on the disk as well as in your backups and no application changes are required. While TDE is not available in PostgreSQL we created an extension that addresses (clothes the elephant) this issue and strengthens the security of your database. Join us as we tell the story of The Elephant Has No Clothes and how Percona is working to solve this issue by creating an open source TDE extension. We will go over data and findings that span the development of the extension, the added security benefits to your database, and point to what the future holds for TDE.Jan WieremjewiczPostgreSQLSecurityVideoPGConf EU 2024https://2024.pgconf.eu/Athens, Greecehttps://percona.community/talks/2024/2024-10-22-kubernetes-turns-10-time-to-explore-the-evolution-of-databases-on-kubernetes/https://percona.community/talks/2024/2024-10-22-kubernetes-turns-10-time-to-explore-the-evolution-of-databases-on-kubernetes/ Tue, 22 Oct 2024 00:00:00 UTCAs Kubernetes celebrates its 10th anniversary, it’s an opportune moment to reflect on the significant innovations it has introduced to the world of databases.

DR relies on deployment to multiple locations, data replication, monitoring for failure and failover. The process is typically manual involving several moving parts, and, even in the best case, involves some downtime for end-users. A multi-cluster K8s control plane presents the opportunity to automate the DR setup as well as the failure detection and failover. Such automation can dramatically reduce RTO and improve availability for end-users. This talk (and demo) describes one such setup using the open source Percona Operator for PostgreSQL and a multi-cluster K8s orchestrator. The orchestrator will use policy driven placement to replicate the entire workload on multiple clusters (in different regions), detect failure using pluggable logic, and do failover processing by promoting the standby as well as redirecting application trafficSergey ProninPostgreSQLCloudKubernetesCloud NativeKubeCon NA 2023https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-north-america/Chicago, ILhttps://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-10-24-cloud-of-serfdom-vs-cloud-of-freedom-why-open-source-will-win-in-the-cloud-age/https://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-10-24-cloud-of-serfdom-vs-cloud-of-freedom-why-open-source-will-win-in-the-cloud-age/ Tue, 24 Oct 2023 00:00:00 UTCCloud and Open Source have a very intricate relationship!

Are you running with IO saturation? Is your memory under pressure? Is the CPU load too high? PostgreSQL was designed to run almost everywhere. That flexibility provided out of the box represents a challenge for those running PostgreSQL on large servers and intensive workloads. Finding the proper parametrization in your system could be challenging: it requires knowledge, continuous monitoring, and tuning according to the workload changes. This session will explore the essential aspects of PostgreSQL parametrization and OS-related parametrization. It will provide insights into what should be monitored and how to modify configurations accordingly. After completing this session, you can boost your PostgreSQL cluster performance, effectively and consistently.Agustin GallegoPostgreSQLOpen SourceSlidesPercona University Montevideo 2023https://www.eventbrite.com/e/percona-university-buenos-aires-open-source-databases-event-tickets-719283605627Montevideo, Uruguay/slides/2023/Agustin_Gallego_Percona_PostgreSQL_Parametrization_Hints_and_Optimization.pdfhttps://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-10-20-22-reasons-to-migrate-to-mysql-8/https://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-10-20-22-reasons-to-migrate-to-mysql-8/ Fri, 20 Oct 2023 00:00:00 UTCMySQL 8 is different from previous major MySQL versions, because MySQL 8 in 2023 is significantly different from MySQL 8 initial release in 2018, because many features are introduced in the minor version released since.

Databases, as a general rule, are not useful if ephemeral. So try to set up persistent storage for these databases, where you can ‘claim’ disk storage that is hopefully somewhat independent of the pod lifecycle.Dave StokesCloudVideoCivo Navigate London 2023https://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-06-29-pg-stat-monitor-a-feature-rich-and-enhanced-version-of-pg-stat-statements/https://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-06-29-pg-stat-monitor-a-feature-rich-and-enhanced-version-of-pg-stat-statements/ Thu, 29 Jun 2023 00:00:00 UTCThe pg_stat_monitor is the statistics collection tool based on PostgreSQL’s contrib module pg_stat_statements. PostgreSQL’s pg_stat_statements provides only detailed statistics from the last time it was reset, which is often not enough. This makes it harder to observe query performance patterns during specific times. Those patterns are what’s needed when debugging degraded query and server performance. pg_stat_monitor collects and aggregates data on time window basis. Additionally, it differentiates between queries originating from different applications, clients and users. And I haven’t even mentioned the queries execution timing histogram. These features make it especially useful in analyze query behavior generally and during specific time of a day. With plenty of configuration options, turning off actual query parameters, pg_stat_monitor covers observability from all different aspects without compromising on security. pg_stat_monitor is added to Percona Monitoring and Management to collect query metrics. It gives users the ability to see examples instead of fingerprints. Pg_stat_monitor provides more accurate data because of the bucket-based logic. The talk will cover the usage of pg_stat_monitor, its features, and how it can help to enhance your database inspection and monitoring.Kai WagnerPostgreSQLSlidesSwiss PGDay 2023https://www.pgday.ch/common/slides/2023_pg_stat_monitor.pdfhttps://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-06-10-introducci-n-a-los-operadores-de-kubernetes-for-beginners/https://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-06-10-introducci-n-a-los-operadores-de-kubernetes-for-beginners/ Sat, 10 Jun 2023 00:00:00 UTCEn esta charla diseñada para principiantes, brindaremos una visión general simplificada de los Operadores de Kubernetes, centrándonos en hacer que el concepto sea fácilmente comprensible para aquellos que son nuevos en el tema.

While this may be a win there are still several areas where the commercial competitors do much better. First, there is a lot of handholding for customers during trial periods and nearly constant outreach to ensure product adoption. Second, error messages are often written by junior developers (the least skilled) that give often cryptic declarations of the issue at hand to the befuddled. And we often treat projects that drive billion dollar companies as if they are still a group of hobbyists coders. In short we may have a better product but the environment around using that product needs to be upscaled rapidly or we risk sliding back into the days of proprietary dominated software constrained lives.Dave StokesOpensourceDatabasesVideoOpen Source Summit NAMA 2023https://events.linuxfoundation.org/archive/2023/open-source-summit-north-america/https://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-03-23-json-data-improvements-in-mysql-8-0/https://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-03-23-json-data-improvements-in-mysql-8-0/ Thu, 23 Mar 2023 00:00:00 UTCThe JSON data type was introduced in MySQL 5.7 and was dramatically improved in version 8.0. Chief among these changes was the introduction of JSON_TABLE(), which temporarily transforms JSON data into structured data for processing with SQL commands such as window functions. And you also gain the ability to test JSON data for required fields, range checks, and data type checks to ensure that bad data does not make it into your database instance. These and other MySQL 8.,0 JSON features will be covered in this session.Dave StokesvideoslidesMySQLVideoSlidesMySQL Summit 2023https://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/events/mysql-summit.htmlRedwood Shores, California/slides/2023/Oracle_MySQL_Summit_2023_JSON.pdfhttps://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-03-18-kubernetes-operators-the-power-of-automation/https://percona.community/talks/2023/2023-03-18-kubernetes-operators-the-power-of-automation/ Sat, 18 Mar 2023 00:00:00 UTCKubernetes Operators have become a transformative influence in the world of container orchestration.

In this talk we will discuss challenges and issues as well as opportunities and benefits of doing so as seen in real production use, concentrating on MySQL and MongoDB. Rolling out a database is easy enough, but things can and will get interesting when scaling up and down, or taking and restoring backups. How to find out the last backup is in fact going to restore without issues? We will also look into monitoring the deployment.Sami AhlroosKubernetesMySQLOpen SourceVideoFOSDEM 2020https://fosdem.org/2020/Belgiumhttps://percona.community/talks/2020/2020-02-01-when-is-myrocks-good/https://percona.community/talks/2020/2020-02-01-when-is-myrocks-good/ Sat, 01 Feb 2020 00:00:00 UTCIn this talk, we’ll walk through RocksDB technology and look into areas where MyRocks is a good fit by comparison to other engines such as InnoDB. We will go over internals, benchmarks, and tuning of MyRocks engine. We also aim to explore the benefits of using MyRocks within the MySQL ecosystem.

Based on these visualizations and reading the database source code (this is why we love Open Source!) you can quickly gain insight about what’s burning CPU (FlameGraphs) and what’s causing CPU to wait (ColdGraphs), and with this knowledge you will be several steps closer to answering “what’s consuming all that CPU time”.Vinicius GrippaMySQLOpen SourceVideoFOSDEM 2020https://fosdem.org/2020/Belgiumhttps://percona.community/talks/2020/2020-01-31-docker-security-considerations-incident-analysis/https://percona.community/talks/2020/2020-01-31-docker-security-considerations-incident-analysis/ Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 UTCIn this presentation we take under consideration the increased use of Docker in corporate enviroments. It is a fact that Docker has found wide spread of use during the past years, mostly because of it being very easy to use , economic w.r.t recources used, fast and easy to deploy when compared with a full blown virtual machine. More and more servers are being operated as Docker hosts on which micro-services run in containers. From a security point of view, two aspects of it arise in the context of this talk and the inherent time-limitations it has. Firstly, the aspect of the already quite talked-through question, “is it secure ?”.Secondly the less analyzed aspect of incident analysis and the changes introduced with respect to known methods and evidence.In this presentation we will briefly outline some security considerations about Docker and the average user and then we will try to examine how Docker introduces changes to the workflow related to incident analysis and forensics in its environment.John LionisDockerSecurityOpen SourceVideoFOSDEM 2020https://fosdem.org/2020/Belgiumhttps://percona.community/talks/2020/2020-01-31-how-to-measure-linux-performance-wrong/https://percona.community/talks/2020/2020-01-31-how-to-measure-linux-performance-wrong/ Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 UTCIn this presentation, we will look at typical mistakes measuring or interpreting Linux Performance. Do you use LoadAvg to assess if your CPU is overloaded or Disk Utilization to see if your disks are overloaded? We will look into these and a number of other metrics that are often misunderstood and/or misused as well as provide suggestions for better ways to measure Linux Performance.Peter ZaitsevLinuxOpen SourceVideoFOSDEM 2020https://fosdem.org/2020/Belgiumhttps://percona.community/talks/2020/2020-01-31-how-transparent-data-encryption-is-built-in-mysql-and-percona-server/https://percona.community/talks/2020/2020-01-31-how-transparent-data-encryption-is-built-in-mysql-and-percona-server/ Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 UTCHow Transparent Data Encryption is built in MySQL and Percona Server ? - keyrings – what are they used for ?

Tests in the framework are written by MySQL Server developers and contributors and run to ensure build is working correctly. I found this is not the only thing which can be done with MTR. I regularly use it in my Support job to help customers and verify bug reports. With MySQL Test Framework I can: • Create complicated environment in single step and re-use it later • Test same scenario on dozens of MySQL/Percona/MariaDB server versions with single command • Test concurrent scenarios • Test errors and return codes • Work with results, external commands, stored routines Everything with single script which can be reused on any machine any time with any MySQL/Percona/MariaDB Server version. In this session I will show my way of working with MySQL Test Framework and I hope you will love it as I do!Sveta SmirnovaMySQLVideoSlidesFOSDEM 2018https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/Brussels, Belgiumhttps://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/mysql_test_framework/attachments/slides/2155/export/events/attachments/mysql_test_framework/slides/2155/MTR.pdfhttps://percona.community/talks/2018/2018-02-04-the-mysql-ecosystem-understanding-it-not-running-away-from-it/https://percona.community/talks/2018/2018-02-04-the-mysql-ecosystem-understanding-it-not-running-away-from-it/ Sun, 04 Feb 2018 00:00:00 UTCMySQL is unique in many ways. It supports plugins. It supports storage engines. It is also owned by Oracle, thus birthing two branches of the popular opensource database: Percona Server and MariaDB. It also spawned a fork: Drizzle. You’re a busy DBA having to maintain a mix of this. Or you’re a CIO planning to choose one branch. How do you go about picking? Supporting multiple databases?
