Clear, direct answers about our software, support, licensing, and how things actually work in production.

Percona for PostgreSQL is a unique combination of Percona software and expert support and managed services that, together, help you run performant, highly available PostgreSQL in production and mission-critical environments. All key software components of Percona for PostgreSQL are 100% open source, certified, and fully supported by the Percona team (i.e. bug fixes). These software components include:

  • High Availability and Disaster Recovery via Patroni, pg_bouncer, HA proxy, and freely available reference architectures from the Percona PostgreSQL experts
  • Backups and restores via pgBackRest
  • Monitoring and observability via an open source Percona Monitoring and Management - PostgreSQL-specific dashboards, visual query troubleshooting via pgStatMonitor, granular insights into database health, performance, and infrastructure usage.
  • Cloud-Native PostgreSQL with Percona Operator for PostgreSQL - Optimize and simplify PG operations on k8s with enterprise-ready features available out-of-the-box: high availability, backup/restore, replication, sharding, logging, and more.

Percona for PostgreSQL support and managed services offers consultative and 24x7x365 support for everything from issue resolution and performance tuning to schema upgrades, migrations, HA/DR design, and more.

The PostgreSQL that you’re used to is at the core of our software solution — Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL. Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is not a fork of PostgreSQL.
However, it is different from vanilla PostgreSQL in that it includes version-aligned, production-grade extensions for high availability, backup, security, observability, and Kubernetes automation, and tests them together as a supported stack. This means you don’t need to mix and match the extensions. Plus, we provide expert support for your infrastructure so you wouldn't need to maintain it on your own.

Percona for PostgreSQL includes open source cloud-native PostgreSQL via Percona Operator for PostgreSQL. It optimizes and simplifies PG operations on k8s with enterprise-ready features available out of the box: high availability, backup/restore, replication, sharding, logging, and more.

Percona provides comprehensive, responsive, and cost-flexible database support for PostgreSQL users on any infrastructure — on-premises, in the cloud, or in a DBaaS, bare metal, virtualized, or containerized environment. Supported components include all extensions from Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL (see all components here), PostGIS support, and support for Percona Monitoring and Management, a robust open source monitoring solution for PostgreSQL.

We monetize our software by offering support, fully managed services, and on-demand help for your PostgreSQL infrastructure. This model funds long-term maintenance and upstream contributions without relying on license gating.
