“
More enterprises rely on MySQL® performance, resilience and security to power the applications and websites that
make achieving their business goals possible.

Percona Server for MySQL® is a free, fully compatible, enhanced and open source drop-in replacement for any
MySQL database. It provides superior performance, scalability and instrumentation.

Percona Server for MySQL is trusted by thousands of enterprises to provide better performance and concurrency
for their most demanding workloads, and delivers greater value to MySQL server users with optimized performance,
greater performance scalability and availability, enhanced backups and increased visibility.

Originally, we used MariaDB to deliver v1 of MySQL for PCF, but found that for v2 Percona Server for MySQL
remains more in line with Oracle’s delivery. Combined with the ability to provide responsive, knowledgeable
support, we found Percona to be a better fit for our customer’s needs.
