ExpertOps: Proactive Database Management

For those that want to prevent incidents instead of reacting to them. ExpertOps delivers proactive monitoring, maintenance, and operational management to keep databases stable and predictable.

ExpertOps

We’re Here to Help. Not Funnel You to a Platform.

Too many managed database services are built to eventually lock you in. Percona helps you run your databases on your terms with hands-on, proactive operations across MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Valkey/Redis, and MariaDB.

Available in Advanced (production environments) and Premium (mission-critical environments) tiers.

Percona engineers operate part or all of your day-to-day database workloads, performing real operational work rather than providing advisory-only support.

24×7 monitoring, tuning, patching, backup validation, and routine operational tasks to keep database environments stable, predictable, and well maintained.

Percona engineers can execute defined operational work such as upgrades, migrations, automation tasks, and configuration changes.

Coverage across your tech stack, delivered under a single subscription with SLA response times as fast as 15 minutes.
