Great solution for managing your MySQL database
We are using Percona Server for MySQL along with other solutions oriented to managing NoSQL databases such as MongoDB and others oriented to documents such as ElasticSearch.This tool complements other tools in order to complete the lifecycle of applications and measure their performance in different environments.
- Faster than other server solutions
- Installation and configuration process is easy from the user's standpoint
- Easy to learn and good support
- The performance and throughput can be improved in big databases
- Documentation for the end user can be improved
- The server time response can be improved since it can be a bit slow when you are doing multiple requests in parallel
- At the performance level, it maintains and even improves other open-source databases such as MariaDB or some commercial ones such as Oracle.
- If we compare it with MySQL, we could have up to 50% improvement in performance.
- For some small companies or startups, the price of the complete solution and the support can be a bit high.
- Percona Backup for MongoDB and Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)
It is a solution that complements those mentioned, and if we know the ecosystem of Percona tools, it is easier for us to learn the different options it offers.

- Storing user and product information
We could get the features of an enterprise server without spending any money on it.
I probably wouldn't change anything.

I lead a startup team, housed within a larger organization, and presently Percona Server for MySQL is used for our team. We are working on an EdTech product, and Percona Server for MySQL is used to store, analyze, and work with user information. Our aim is fast querying, easy deployment, and good support.

High Performance and Availability with Percona Server for MySQL
Score 10 out of 10

Percona Server for MySQL is being used across our whole organization. We are running 50+ primary instances in our data center with DR replica's running on compute instances inside GCP in 2 different regions. Percona Server for MySQL solves our need for well-tested and stable MySQL instances with Percona doing additional testing to the upstream releases which gives that added level of stability that we need for the massive volumes of processing as well as the required performance in sharded instances.
- Performance
- Stability
- Additional Variables for in-depth monitoring
- Easy migration path to Percona XtraDB Cluster
- A distributed database offering to scale writes with native sharding. Currently we make use of sharding managed by the application to scale writes. There is the option to place ProxySQL in front of the shards, but we need a true cloud native distributed option with an easy migration path. I would not say this is negative in terms of Percona Server for MySQL, but if Percona had a distributed database offering at some stage, we would follow Percona.
- Percona Server for MySQL is open source with no hidden licensing costs which gives us huge savings on the high number of instances that are required on premise and in the cloud.
- Large community support
- Percona offers additional open source tools to support Percona Server for MySQL
Performance and stability sets Percona Server for MySQL apart from the rest. Percona embraces the upstream version and contributes towards the upstream version making MySQL stronger on two fronts and thus having a much larger community. Many quality contributions have been made by Percona into the base code.
Percona provides great tools to support Percona Server for MySQL and this makes the monitoring and management easier.
