The popularity of Database as a Service (DBaaS) solutions is on the rise. It’s not hard to see why. DBaaS enables users to offload administrative tasks and maintenance, allowing them to reap the benefits of a database without the traditional overhead.
However, public DBaaS solutions are not suitable for all organizations. Some organizations have strict data sovereignty requirements that preclude them from using public cloud services. Others may find initial adoption relatively affordable, but as their workload grows, so do the costs, often exuberantly so.
At Percona, we’ve been hard at work on a new open source DBaaS product. Our DBaaS solution, named Percona Everest, enables users to effortlessly deploy and manage databases regardless of their preferred deployment environment — on-prem, cloud, and hybrid. If you’re a regular visitor to the Percona Blog, you might have even seen last week’s Alpha release announcement.
As we continue to iterate on Percona Everest, we’d love to hear about your experiences with DBaaS solutions, both public and private. We’re particularly interested in opinions from:
- Developers who use DBaaS solutions to provision self-service databases
- Database administrators and others who help manage databases
- IT team leads or managers experienced with public or private DBaaS
Your thoughts will help us shape the future of Percona Everest. Our survey will only take two minutes of your time, and in return, we will send you some Percona swag as a thank-you.
