Enterprise-Grade PostgreSQL Without Trade-Offs
Why you don’t have to choose between open source, cost, and convenience.
PostgreSQL is an obvious choice for its flexibility, scalability, and open source advantages, but how you deploy and manage it matters. Your organization must decide how to balance enterprise-grade features, flexibility, and long-term cost efficiency.
- Go proprietary? Vendors like EDB, Crunchy Data offer enterprise enhancements, but they come with licensing fees, vendor lock-in, and migration risks.
- Build in-house? Self-managing PostgreSQL provides full control, but requires deep expertise, constant maintenance, and high operational costs.
- Use managed cloud services? AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure offer convenience, but limit control over performance tuning, security policies, and cost optimization.
Each approach has trade-offs. Percona for PostgreSQL, on the other hand, makes it so you don’t have to compromise at all.
Percona provides a fully open source, enterprise-grade PostgreSQL solution with scalability, security, and expert support—without proprietary restrictions or operational burden.
Percona for PostgreSQL: truly open source, fully supported, and built for flexibility
Unlike proprietary vendors, Percona doesn’t lock you into custom forks, expensive licensing, or restrictive add-ons. And unlike cloud-managed services, you retain full control over your database’s performance, security, and cost structure.
- Enterprise-grade, production-ready PostgreSQL with certified, tested, and freely available extensions for high availability, security, backups, and observability.
- Includes Patroni for automated failover, pgBackRest for robust backup and restore, HAProxy for load balancing, and pg_stat_monitor for deep query performance insights.
- No vendor lock-in or hidden costs—your database, your way. Percona doesn’t force you into licensing agreements, custom forks, or costly migrations.
- No restrictions on features, portability, or long-term flexibility on any environment.
- Expert 24x7 PostgreSQL support and managed services to reduce operational overhead.
- Get consultative guidance on high availability architectures, backup and recovery strategies, scaling, security, and performance tuning.
- SLA response times as fast as 15 minutes
- Flexibility to run PostgreSQL anywhere—on-premises, in the cloud, or on Kubernetes.
- Built for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, Kubernetes-native deployments, and traditional on-prem infrastructures.
Break away from proprietary vendors without breaking your environment
