The event created strong visibility for OpenEverest among cloud-native practitioners, platform engineers, DevOps leaders, and ecosystem advocates, with more than 200 attendees engaging at the booth!

Attendees who were stopping by the booth could learn about:

  • v2 Developer Preview — recently released the first dev preview of OpenEverest v2, a major rework of the platform
  • Running PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB on Kubernetes with a single control plane
  • Backups, restores, and point-in-time recovery across database engines
  • Contributing to OpenEverest — including the LFX Mentorship program
  • What’s on the roadmap

The outcome?

  • More than 200 people visited the booth, showing strong, sustained audience interest during the event.
  • Swag demand was exceptionally high: 75 t-shirts and around 100 stickers were fully distributed within two hours
  • The most common question was focused on the database support
  • Conversations moved beyond curiosity into practical adoption topics such as installation, scale, and support for different database types,

Overall we can see that OpenEverest was being assessed as a serious project rather than only a concept.
