I had the opportunity to speak with Peter Zaitsev, CEO and Founder, Percona following his presentation on Distributed MySQL Architectures, Past, Present and Future at the Distributed SQL Summit in San Jose.
Earlier in the week, Percona announced the new distribution of PostgreSQL to provide expanded support for open source databases. According to Peter, as Percona started providing support to need single source to run PostgreSQL, they realized the need for monitoring from one source with the most appropriate versions and compatibility.
