Percona, a leader in enterprise-grade open source database software, support, and services, is partnering with Chainguard, a trusted source for open source—now supporting Chainguard builds across its database software portfolio.
“Secure, compliant, and reliable data infrastructure is mission critical in the modern enterprise,” said Peter Farkas, CEO at Percona. “And with new regulations and more complex architectures becoming increasingly commonplace, many organizations are struggling to keep up. By partnering with Chainguard, Percona is helping to ease that burden. With secure-by-default container images of all of our open source database software, our customers can spend less time worrying about patching CVEs and more time innovating.”
The partnership gives organizations a path to secure, production-ready container images of open source databases with expert support behind them, according to the companies.
Chainguard builds container images that are secure by default, fully traceable, and designed to keep Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) counts at or near zero. Percona adds the operational layer, providing enterprise-grade expert support so teams aren't on their own when things get complex.
This new partnership helps organizations to maintain the highest security standards possible, without having to incur the cost and complexity of building custom images all on their own. Chainguard solves the image problem by rebuilding Percona’s database software, packaging and maintaining it using hardened, minimal images built with verifiable provenance, FIPS readiness, and defined CVE service-level agreements (SLAs). Percona solves the support problem. Together, they cover the gap that has been left to engineering teams to fill, the companies said.
This partnership extends across Percona's full database portfolio. That includes Percona software for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, and community versions of PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Valkey, and Redis.
“Organizations shouldn’t have to choose between the flexibility of open source and the security required for production,” said Brad Bock, director of product management, Chainguard. “By partnering with Percona, we’re combining Chainguard’s secure-by-default, continuously maintained container images with world-class database expertise and support. Together, we’re giving teams a simpler, more reliable way to run open source databases in production without carrying the burden of patching and securing them on their own.”
