OPEN SOURCE IN FINANCE WEBINAR SERIES - PERCONA

"Cloud Native, Cost Conscious, No Compromise: Leveraging Open Source Databases in Financial Industry"

Date: October 24th (Virtual)
Time: 11am ET / 4PM BST
Speakers: Lori Lorusso, Head of Community & Sergey Pronin, Group Product Manager at Percona

In the fast-paced world of fintech, the pressure to deliver innovative solutions while controlling costs is relentless. Cloud-native architectures offer a path to agility and scalability, but the choice of database technology is critical. This webinar explores how open source databases, optimized for cloud-native environments, can be the cornerstone of a cost-conscious and high-performing infrastructure. 

Many financial institutions rely on open source databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB. When used in conjunction with Kubernetes and the CNCF ecosystem, these databases offer powerful tools to optimize resource utilization, automate database management, and significantly reduce operational costs.

Percona Everest is an open source platform designed to help financial institutions manage databases across multiple environments, with an emphasis on cost efficiency and operational simplicity. By leveraging Kubernetes, Everest supports seamless database operations without vendor lock-in, making it a scalable and effective option for institutions focused on balancing performance and cost.
