interesting move by #percona, spinning off #opensource project PerconaEverest to a new co and turning it to a multi-vendor #database provisioning on #Kubernetes - now OpenEverest. aiming to donate it to the CNCF. A nice addition to the #cloudnative stack.
best of luck @peterzaitsev and team!

Good Bye Percona Everest, Hello OpenEverest!

Percona Everest will become OpenEverest, retaining the same open source (Apache 2.0) license and become a multi-vendor project built with open governance at its core.

* MySQL is at risk at #Oracle.
* MySQL is not dead but in "maintenance mode".
* #Alibaba has more developers working on MySQL than Oracle.
* Why PostgreSQL is winning: Extensions!

Companies seen at this Summit: #Percona, #MariaDB, Oracle, #AWS, #Ubuntu/#Canonical, #WordPress, booking.com, #ProxySQL, and many other huge players in the eco-system.

#Vitess and #Percona presented their binlog servers for #MySQL. Vitess currently seems to be slightly ahead in features.
But this tool IMHO is not interesting for small companies, but just for the big web based companies...

Tried again, with a lower salary requirement. I'm answering their technical questions correctly (they're pretty basic).

Instant rejection.

Either they're being absurdly cheap, or their AI is bad.

It looks like Percona is using AI to screen candidates. They rejected me almost immediately after applying... on a weekend day. Just stating I was not selected.

I'm more than qualified for the role.

This is what I'm up against.
