Percona serves several communities including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. The Percona Community Team is committed to promoting content and technical advice on open source database technologies and needs. Hence, we organize monthly MeetUps as a series of regular 1-hour live streaming every Wednesday at 11 am EST/ 5:00 pm CEST/8:30 pm IST with Matt Yonkovit, The Head of Open Source Strategy (HOSS) at Percona, in collaboration with one to two guests from our engineering teams or external speakers. Every month, we will discuss:
- MySQL on the 1st week
- PostgreSQL on the 2nd week
- MongoDB on the 3rd week
- Monitoring and Observability via Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) on the 4th week

As more companies look at migrating away from Oracle or implementing new databases alongside their applications, PostgreSQL is often the best option for those who want to run on open source databases.
