Percona Software for PostgreSQL

A fully open source PostgreSQL stack that preserves upstream compatibility and long-term flexibility.

Data Layer

Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL

Enhanced open source PostgreSQL stack with built-in security, resilience, backup, and extensibility for production workloads. Includes transparent data-at-rest encryption, high availability and disaster recovery, connection pooling, and reliable backup and restore.

Percona Server for PostgreSQL

A fully open source, binary-compatible drop-in replacement for PostgreSQ Community that enhances extensibility while preserving upstream behavior.

Percona Operator for PostgreSQL

Automate deployments, scaling, and backup and restore operations of PostgreSQL on Kubernetes.

Percona pg_tde

An open source PostgreSQL extension that provides transparent data-at-rest encryption. Automatically encrypts on-disk data and protects physical storage media access, while preserving application behavior and PostgreSQL compatibility.

Management Layer

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)

An open source monitoring and observability platform that provides deep visibility into performance, query behavior, and system health across on-premises, cloud, and Kubernetes deployments. It captures metrics and data for PostgreSQL such as Connections, Active Connections, Tuples, Tuple Activity, and more.
