At Percona, we pride ourselves on being deeply involved in the open source database community. In 2009, that commitment grew in a big way. That year, Percona hosted the Percona Performance Conference in Santa Clara, creating a space for database practitioners to come together, share what they were seeing in production, and trade practical lessons on performance, scale, reliability, and open source infrastructure. It was an early signal of what would become central to #20YearsofPercona: showing up for the community. Not just with software, but with expertise, conversation, and technical exchange. Today, Percona hosts and joins events around the world. Find us at an upcoming event: https://bit.ly/43Ljzm7 #OpenSource #Databases #TheWayIsOpen
