Percona, a leader in enterprise-grade open source database software, support, and services, is transitioning Percona Everest into an independent open source project called OpenEverest—an open source platform for automated database provisioning and management.
According to the company, this move reflects Percona’s commitment to open collaboration and to building a long-term, community-driven platform for managing modern data infrastructure.
Designed to operate with open governance and a growing, multi-vendor community, OpenEverest is being established as an independent project to encourage broad participation from individuals, partners, and organizations beyond Percona, the company said.
The project reflects Percona’s continued, tireless commitment to the core principles of open source, welcoming independent contributors and maintainers from across the industry, and ensuring its roadmap is shaped by community needs rather than by a single vendor’s commercial priorities.
Percona will remain an active contributor to the OpenEverest project and will continue to provide enterprise-class support, consulting, and services for OpenEverest users.
To support the project’s growth and community development, Percona is creating a wholly owned subsidiary, Solanica, focused specifically on developing OpenEverest and nurturing its community.
“OpenEverest represents the next stage in the evolution of the project,” said Blair Rampling, vice president of product management at Percona. “By establishing it as an independent open source project, we are creating the conditions for broader collaboration, faster innovation, and long-term sustainability, while maintaining continuity and enterprise-grade support for users.”
OpenEverest is designed as an extensible platform, making it easier to add support for additional databases over time. Its architecture is intended to enable integration beyond databases, supporting a wider range of data infrastructure and operational use cases.
“The long-term vision for OpenEverest is to provide a common, open foundation for managing, operating, and extending modern data platforms,” the company said.
As an independent project, OpenEverest is also positioned to work more closely with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and the broader cloud-native ecosystem, supporting open governance, ecosystem growth, and long-term success.
For existing Percona Everest users, there is no change to Percona’s commitment to enterprise-grade reliability, security, and support. Users will continue to receive continuity and stability through Percona, while benefiting from a more open ecosystem and a growing community of contributors, the vendor said.
