Cost Optimization

Database costs don’t rise on their own. Licensing creep, tiered paywalls, and constant upcharges cost more every year. We help you stop it.

Cost Optimization Services

Complexity is Expensive. And Vendors Are Happy to Profit From It.

Your database environments are expanding across engines, clouds, and deployment models. Many database vendors are taking advantage. They’re monetizing complexity through opaque pricing, enforced service tiers, and operational sprawl.

Percona delivers a transparent, open source–based approach to database operations that reduces waste, improves performance, and restores cost predictability.

Percona Services are scoped to actual environments, not per-core licenses or tiered bundles. Pricing scales with deployment size and defined work. No hidden fees or license gates.

Eliminate database licensing with enterprise-grade open source and source-available software for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. Get full transparency and control without fees.

Reduce overprovisioning, eliminate DBaaS floor pricing, and align spend to real workload needs through Percona Support, ExpertOps, and arc

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) and ExpertOps enable early detection and consistent response, shortening outages and reducing financial and operational impact.

Backups, upgrades, monitoring, and routine maintenance are automated and standardized through ExpertOps and Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), reducing manual work and the need for additional database headcount. 

Values

Reduce the Cost of Database Operations

One operating model across multiple databases

Percona supports organizations running more than one database engine under a single operational and support model, reducing duplicated tools, contracts, and overhead.

Standardization instead of tool sprawl

Replace fragmented monitoring, backup, and support layers with consistent operational practices—cutting errors, handoffs, and downtime risk.

Cost control without performance compromise

Avoid DBaaS sizing floors and bundled minimums while maintaining performance by aligning infrastructure to real workload demand, not pricing tiers.

AI and analytics without new platforms or licenses

Support modern analytics and AI workloads without introducing new platforms, licenses, or operational silos that increase cost per transaction.

Lower downstream operational risk and cost

Reduce not just cloud spend, but the hidden costs of outages, instability, and operational inefficiency that impact revenue and continuity.

Real Answers. No Corporate Doublespeak.

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

Percona focuses on eliminating licensing overhead, infrastructure waste, and operational inefficiencies. Pricing and services are aligned to real environment needs and defined work, not usage tiers, bundled services, or vendor pricing models.

Beyond infrastructure spend, Percona reduces operational overhead, downtime risk, tool sprawl, and staffing pressure. Standardized monitoring, automation, and incident response lower the hidden downstream costs that often exceed cloud bills.

No. Percona focuses on right-sizing and efficiency, not underprovisioning. Architecture reviews, performance tuning, and proactive operations improve price/performance while maintaining stability and uptime.

Through Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) and ExpertOps, issues are detected earlier and incidents are handled consistently. This shortens outages, limits impact, and reduces the financial and operational cost of instability.
