The first open-source platform for automated database, storage and LLM provisioning and management. It supports multiple database technologies and can be hosted on any Kubernetes infrastructure, in the cloud or on-premises.
Managed database services tie your data to one cloud and one vendor's roadmap. OpenEverest gives your teams the same self-service experience on infrastructure you control.
100% open source under Apache 2.0 and a CNCF Sandbox project. Your data, clusters, and tooling stay portable.
Skip months of building an internal DBaaS. Provisioning, scaling, backups, and monitoring work out of the box.
Run on any Kubernetes — public cloud, private cloud, or bare metal — and keep data where cost, latency, and compliance require.
Every technology is a provider. Add databases, caches, or AI runtimes from the hub, or build your own with the Provider SDK.
Synchronous replication with Percona XtraDB Cluster.
Highly available MariaDB with point-in-time recovery.
Replica sets and sharded clusters, backed up.
Highly available Postgres with CloudNativePG or Percona.
Real-time analytics on replicated clusters.
Always-On Availability Groups on Kubernetes.
Distributed, MySQL-compatible SQL with built-in HTAP.
Redis-compatible caching and key-value at scale.
From the first click to the thousandth backup, OpenEverest automates the database lifecycle so your team doesn't have to.
Create production-ready databases from the UI, API, or CLI in minutes, with topologies, versions, and presets built in.
Add nodes, shards, or replicas, adjust CPU and memory, and grow storage as your workloads change.
Schedule backups to S3-compatible storage, recover to a point in time, or clone a new instance from any backup.
Plug metrics into the observability stack you already run. No mandatory monitoring tool, no extra agents to babysit.
TLS, generated credentials, and role-based access control keep every instance locked down from day one.
Tune engine parameters, storage classes, scheduling, and external access without ever touching kubectl.
OpenEverest thrives because of its open, collaborative community. Whether you're a developer, operator, or enthusiast — there are many ways to get involved.
OpenEverest is open source and thrives on community contributions. No contribution is too small — whether it's code, documentation, or website improvements.

I put a sharded Valkey cluster under full load, doubled the number of shards, shrank it back, drained a node and killed primaries. Here is what clients saw, how much data was lost, and what still needs fixing.
We added MaxScale to the MariaDB provider. I killed primaries in a few different ways to see how failover behaves, what clients see, and what still needs fixing.
Learn how Locci Cloud experimented with and eventually adopted OpenEverest to their platform.
A single feed for everything shipping across OpenEverest — the core, providers, and plugins. Here is why we built the What’s New page and how an AI-powered pipeline keeps it up to date.
We wrapped up the OpenEverest Asian tour at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China in Shanghai — a conference where Kubernetes has effectively become the operating system for AI. Here is what stood out, from the talks to the China-native project landscape to the project pavilion.
Our two LFX Mentorship Term 3 projects now have their mentees. Meet Aditya Pimpalkar (Object Storage provider) and Abdul Moiz (Benchmark plugin), and see what to expect from each.
