Non-relational DB receives an enterprise distribution from remaining-field…
Open resource databases professional Percona today introduced its pretty very own MongoDB distribution (and managed services for it) an strange go given the latter’s somewhat restrictive license phrases, and 1 possible to place the cat among the the pigeons at MongoDB’s headquarters.
MongoDB, an $eleven billion (by marketplace capitalisation) non-relational databases professional, gives a bare-bones open up resource model of its program that shoppers are free to down load and use but helps make its revenue supplying managed services for/licenses to far more proprietary, all-singing, all-dancing variations of the databases with other resources plugged in.
As a outcome, MongoDB (the databases) is a little bit of a MongoDB (the company)-only display, despite the cloud hyperscalers’ very best attempts.

North Carolina-centered Percona in the meantime specialises in supplying support and managed services for shoppers wanting to avoid seller lock-in by employing open up resource databases throughout their stack. (It gives managed services for MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL databases, among the many others).
The company created the announcement at its once-a-year “Percona Live” convention (using location on-line today), indicating that the freshly unveiled Percona Distribution for MongoDB provides a “fully open up resource enterprise resolution centered on Percona Server for MongoDB and Percona Backup for MongoDB that maximizes performance whilst being far more price tag-effective”.
(A distribution is a open up resource project that is packaged up and managed individually/independently from the main open up resource project. It is not the same detail as a fork — a new department of the resource code by itself).
Acknowledging that MongoDB — “with a adaptable schema, pure significant availability, and designed-in horizontal scaling… is considered the very best massive data resolution among the standard-reason databases — Percona notes: “MongoDB is a good deal far more centrally controlled than other databases. With MongoDB’s target mostly on the Atlas system, it leaves all those that want to operate hybrid programs at a downside and searching for possibilities to avoid being locked-in”.
Percona’s Terri Schlosser instructed us: “We’re absolutely neutral on what databases you use: we offer managed services for a vast variety of them, so we’re not hoping to promote you a certain DB and there’s no danger of seller lock-in.
“Most MongoDB shoppers will be employing at minimum two open up resource databases. We know how to optimise the program for your workload desires make items operate faster…”
(Computer system Business enterprise Overview is not informed of any other open up resource MongoDB distributions, bar MongoDB’s very own. If we’re completely wrong, permit us know…)
