Hi, I’m PERCival.
I will guide you
through the book
Foreword
I
t has been my good fortune to be a part of
Percona since 2013. Throughout my time here,
I have affectionately referred to the “Percona
Dog Years.” What I mean is it can be hard to measure
and quantify time because we experience so much
in our daily work. And yet, here we are in 2021
celebrating 15 years of delighting our customers
and users in the Open Source Database space! That
is awesome.
This 15th Anniversary Book celebrates all the
milestones and accomplishments of an amazing
group of people, past and present Perconians!
While the numbers and names of Perconians have
changed over the years, what has stayed constant
is our passion and commitment to excellence.
Whenever I get a chance to talk to prospective
Perconians, I discuss our values. While in this
instance they are words on a page, in reality, they
are core to our behavior that contributes to our
continued success. Daily, the team works hard to
Get Stuff Done; prioritize Customer → Percona →
Team → Me; challenge our thinking to Find a Better
Way and nally offer Quality & Value always.
As we continue to grow and evolve, our purpose
is to Keep Open Source Open. While our ambitions
are great, so is the strength of Perconians. This book
highlights the amazing story of a bootstrapped
company. The story, however, is still being written
with the most exciting chapters to come.
Congratulations to everyone who has been a
part of Percona’s journey. I would like to especially
congratulate Peter and Vadim. Percona is
something special and unique. Thank you for the
opportunity to be a part of the story.
Cheers.
Ann Schlemmer, President of Percona
