PERCONA.CONNECT
AMSTERDAM
Everyone's running open source in production now. Almost nobody's talking about what that actually takes.
Percona.Connect Amsterdam is for people actually running databases in production. Not the people who sell them.
Across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Valkey and the broader open source database ecosystem, speakers and open source advocates will get into what's actually working, what's breaking, and what nobody tells you until you hit it in prod.
From PostgreSQL's evolving capabilities and MongoDB's role in the agentic era to running PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Valkey, and the wider database ecosystem, Percona.Connect Amsterdam brings the open source data ecosystem together in one room.
No vendor pitches. Just open source, covered properly.
