Percona Monitoring and Management Server

Percona Server is used on a master-master cluster for Airflow.

Percona Server is used because it is useful for distributing the workload on Airflow, which is a scheduling workflow engine for scheduling jobs.

Performance improvements are delivered largely through features such as XtraBackup, which support these advancements.

The monitoring tool of Percona Server is very good.

Percona Server positively impacts the organization because it is free and open-source.

Being open-source significantly helps with cost savings and lowers the costs that had to be paid for enterprise licensing for MySQL with Oracle.

The introduction of materialized views in Percona Server would be a significant help, as this feature has been requested for a long time.

Percona is a drop-in replacement for MySQL, with XtraBackup being a killer feature, as it provides non-locking backup, and PMM is a complete monitoring solution. The overall review rating for Percona Server is 7.

My main use case for Percona Server is deploying the community version without support to MongoDB servers in Kubernetes, and I also use Percona Server Exporter tools.

Using Percona Server for deploying MongoDB servers in Kubernetes helps my team day-to-day by allowing us to quickly deploy small replica sets of MongoDB and configure it in YAML files.

I use Percona MongoDB Exporter to export all metrics to Grafana.

Percona Server offers excellent features including being open source, which allows us to use the tools the way we want. Percona Kubernetes for MongoDB is a unique offering since no other companies provide a proper Kubernetes operator that supports deployment, maintenance, and backup.

Percona's unique Kubernetes Operator for MongoDB has made my life easier by first providing backup, which is the main feature for databases, and it also includes advanced maintenance features when I need to upgrade to the next version of MongoDB.

Additionally, Percona has a great community, so I can always expect help from Percona fans regarding the features.

Percona Server has positively impacted my organization because it is open source, and if the official MongoDB goes in different directions or makes its product expensive, we can still use Percona Server, which serves as a sort of safety net.

This safety net has helped my organization save costs, as Percona costs nothing in the community version.

I believe it would be great to have tools to deploy Percona Server in Docker so that we can split a huge database server into many small servers, which are easier to maintain and delegate to junior administrators.

I also think there should be more use cases and documentation on deploying in Kubernetes with real-life examples, as currently, the documentation is minimal, making it difficult in a production situation.

I have been using Percona Server for more than a year.

Percona Server is perfectly stable and reliable.

Percona Server's scalability meets our needs well, as we use it in Docker and scale the way we want with multiple MongoDB servers rather than one huge server, so scalability is in our hands and not Percona's, and it works well for us.

I previously used FerretDB, but I think it is not mature enough, and we also considered CockroachDB.

Before choosing Percona Server, I did not really evaluate other options since developers are conservative people and once they use a NoSQL solution, they prefer MongoDB over all other options.

We have definitely saved money since using Percona Server.

I do not have experience with pricing, setup cost, or licensing for Percona Server.

My advice to others looking into using Percona Server is to learn Linux, Kubernetes, and test Percona Server before running it in production.

Percona Server is my main solution for electronic information systems, and I use Percona XtraDB Cluster for this purpose.

Percona Server has facilitated the configuration of clusters compared to using a large cluster setup.

Percona Server helps me maintain consistency in my systems.

Percona Server offers excellent scalability and easy configuration.

The configuration feature is particularly valuable to me because adding a new server requires minimal effort, which streamlines my workflow.

Database consistency is the most important feature for me.

Percona Server has positively impacted my organization by reducing downtime for applications and improving backup capabilities.

Percona Server has improved downtime and backup management by making it easy to switch to another server when necessary, and it includes built-in backup functionality.

Percona Server could be improved by adding more advanced query fields, which would be very helpful.

I have been using Percona Server for more than eight years.

Percona Server is very stable.

Percona Server's scalability is easy to configure.

I previously used the free version of MySQL before switching to Percona Server.

I would advise others looking into using Percona Server that it is very good and safe, as well as being easy to set up.

I have not seen a return on investment since I am using the free version.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that I am using the free version.
