Percona Server for MySQL is a free, open source, drop-in replacement for MySQL that adds enhanced performance, scalability, instrumentation, and enterprise-grade features. It is built on MySQL Community Edition and maintained by Percona with active releases and long-term production support.
Use cases
- replace MySQL with a free open source server without changing application code
- get enterprise MySQL features like enhanced backup and security without licensing fees
- run high-concurrency production MySQL workloads with better performance
- gain deeper visibility and instrumentation into MySQL server behavior
- self-host a relational SQL database for web applications
- migrate off MySQL Enterprise Edition with near-zero downtime
When to choose
- you need MySQL compatibility with extra performance and monitoring features at no license cost
- you want enterprise capabilities such as advanced backup and security without vendor lock-in
- you run demanding production workloads and want an actively maintained MySQL fork
When to avoid
- you need a managed cloud database service rather than self-hosted software
- you prefer MariaDB or PostgreSQL ecosystems
- you only need a lightweight embedded database
