1:45 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Why Choose Open Source Database Solutions in 2025 Open source databases are gaining traction across organizations of all sizes. While open source offers flexibility and cost savings, concerns remain around innovation, reliability, security, and compliance—especially for mission-critical workloads. Join us to explore the overlooked benefits of open source database adoption, key considerations around open core models and public cloud, and our predictions for this market in 2025. |
2:15 p.m. - 2:45 p.m. | Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL: Enabling Highly Available, Secure, Cloud-Native Deployments When using PostgreSQL for mission-critical applications, high availability, data-at-rest encryption, and a cloud-native approach are essential. While the open source PostgreSQL ecosystem provides various, sometimes conflicting, options for high availability and cloud-native setups, support for open source data-at-rest encryption is limited.
In this session, we’ll explore how Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL delivers enterprise-level high availability in cloud-native environments using only open source components. We’ll also show how data-at-rest encryption is integrated into the roadmap for Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL.

3:45 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. | PostgreSQL vs MySQL - Isn't a Database Just a Database? MySQL and PostgreSQL are open source databases that, from a very high viewpoint, seem to do the same thing. However, subtle and non-subtle differences can severely impact your project. There are features missing in one that are in the other that will change the way you handle your data. Administration for either database needs special skills, and backups can potentially cause you great angst. So how do you pick ‘THE ONE’ for your needs? Where are the pain points that you need to avoid? |
4:15 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. | Best Practices: How To Prepare Your Databases for Traffic Spikes One of the worst things that can happen to a business is to become a victim of his own success. You can't afford to lose sales because your infrastructure can't handle the load. Instead of preparing for the worst, why don't you start preparing for the best? In this talk, we will discuss our approach to ensuring that your infrastructure can handle seasonal traffic peaks smoothly. |
4:45 p.m. - 5:15 p.m | Running Databases in the Cloud: How to Reduce Infrastructure Costs Using Open Source Components and Kubernetes When it comes to scaling your database environment, even seemingly minor decisions can majorly impact your bottom line. This is true regardless of whether you’re running a Database as a Service (DBaaS) or an on-premises solution. In this session, we will look at the common reasons why costs spiral out of control when scaling, as well as discuss potential open source, cloud-native solutions for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL. |
5:15 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. 5:30 p.m. - 6:30p.m. |
