We’re proud to share that Percona has been named to the 2025 DBTA 100—Database Trends and Applications’ annual list of “The Companies That Matter Most in Data.” This recognition highlights our success in empowering organizations to build, scale, and optimize open source database environments for today’s most demanding applications.
At Percona, we believe open source is the future of data management, especially in an era where the volume, complexity, and strategic importance of data have never been greater. From MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, to emerging cloud-native deployments, we deliver enterprise-grade open source software, services, and support that help businesses harness the full potential of their data.
Why Percona made the list
Database environments are evolving rapidly with the continued rise of cloud-native architectures, the explosive growth of AI, and the increasing need for flexible, secure, and cost-effective data solutions. Amidst this transformation, Percona stands out for several key reasons:
- Championing database freedom: Percona believes businesses should never have to choose between innovation and independence. As proprietary licensing models grow more restrictive and cloud costs climb, our fully open source approach ensures customers maintain ownership of their architecture and avoid vendor lock-in.
- Driving open source innovation: Percona reimagines what’s possible with open source. We don’t just support open source databases—we engineer powerful, integrated solutions to help teams streamline, monitor and automate MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB provisioning and management. These solutions, like Percona Everest, enable consistent deployment across diverse environments and simplify modern database complexity.
- Supporting the AI revolution: As AI development places new demands on data platforms, Percona is leading efforts to optimize open source databases for the scale, speed, and adaptability that AI workloads require.
- Delivering enterprise-grade reliability: For nearly two decades, Percona has been a trusted partner to businesses around the world, providing the expertise, support, and proven technology needed to power mission-critical applications at scale.
Looking ahead
Our inclusion in the 2025 DBTA 100 reaffirms our commitment to our company’s mission: to democratize access to powerful, scalable, and cost-effective database solutions and to help businesses everywhere unlock new possibilities from their data.
At Percona, our aim is to continue to innovate at the intersection of open source, cloud-native architectures, and AI. As the data landscape continues to evolve, we remain dedicated to delivering the trusted, open, and enterprise-ready database solutions organizations need to thrive.
Thank you to our team, community, and partners for making this achievement possible. We’re excited to continue building the future of open source databases, together.
