Thank You for Connecting with ProxySQL at Percona Live Amsterdam 2026

Percona Live 2026 Amsterdam has come to a close, and we want to thank everyone who stopped by the ProxySQL booth, shared an operational challenge, asked a difficult question, or simply introduced themselves.

Events like Percona Live matter because they bring together the people who build, operate, and depend on open source database infrastructure every day. Over three days in Amsterdam, we connected with engineers, DBAs, SREs, architects, technology leaders, long-time ProxySQL users, and people discovering the project for the first time.

We appreciated every conversation.

The conversations that keep open source moving

The topics at the booth reflected the breadth of modern database operations. We discussed:

Scaling client connections without overwhelming database backends
Read/write splitting, query routing, and query caching
High availability, failover, and cloud database topologies
Operating MySQL and PostgreSQL in the same infrastructure
Fast Forward Traffic Observer, time-series metrics, and troubleshooting
Authentication, encryption, and safer production upgrades
MCP and GenAI integrations in the ProxySQL 4.0 tier
Managing larger ProxySQL estates across clouds and regions

These exchanges are valuable because the most useful technical conversations rarely fit into a feature checklist. They are about real production constraints, the trade-offs behind an architecture, and the operational details that determine whether a system remains dependable under pressure.

Thank you for trusting us with those details.

Thank you for exploring ProxySQL.Cloud with us

Amsterdam was also our first opportunity to show ProxySQL.Cloud in person.

At the booth, visitors could explore a shared control plane for MySQL and PostgreSQL environments, including cluster health, query activity, backend pools, configuration, backups, alerting, and scaling policies.

If you were not able to see the demonstration—or would like another look—you can preview ProxySQL.Cloud and contact us with questions about your environment.

Continue exploring the latest ProxySQL releases

We also discussed the changes in ProxySQL 3.0.11, 3.1.11, and 4.0.11. The three release tiers include improvements for safer multiplexing, causal reads, modern authentication, FFTO and TSDB reliability, and MCP operations.

Before upgrading, review the release-specific guidance, validate opt-in features independently, and test with the same configuration and application drivers you use in production.

MySQL and PostgreSQL resources

To continue the technical conversations from Amsterdam, here are a few useful starting points.

Let’s keep talking

The conference may be over, but the conversations do not have to stop. If you are evaluating ProxySQL, planning an upgrade, designing for high availability, or trying to simplify a growing database estate, contact the ProxySQL team.

Thank you again to Percona, the organizers, speakers, sponsors, and everyone who made the trip to Amsterdam. Most of all, thank you to everyone who spent time with us.

We look forward to continuing the conversation.
