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.
We took OpenEverest on an Asian tour — KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Japan in Yokohama and COSCUP in Taipei. Two very different crowds, one shared question - where do databases on Kubernetes really stand in APAC?
Meet Aditya Pimpalkar — a freelance software engineer in Ireland who followed his curiosity about databases on Kubernetes into OpenEverest, and became one of the first to build against the v2 provider architecture.
Meet Atharva Mhaske — a pre-final year engineering student at Pune University who went down a databases rabbit hole in Go and came out contributing to OpenEverest.
OpenEverest just hit 750 stars on GitHub! Since the 500-star milestone, OpenEverest has become the CNCF Sandbox project, and the number of contributors is growing steadily.
Meet Rishi Mondal — Docker Captain, CNCF maintainer, two-time GSoC alum turned mentor, and an SRE at Obmondo who joined OpenEverest community because the database problem on Kubernetes is one he lives every day.
Kubernetes adoption has hit 82%, but cultural shifts and AI complexity are the new blockers. Discover how OpenEverest solves "YAML fatigue" and provides a vendor-neutral DBaaS for the cloud-native era.
Percona is transitioning Percona Everest into an independent open source project called OpenEverest, designed to operate with open governance and a growing, multi-vendor community.
At OpenEverest, we believe that a healthy open-source community is built on teamwork and removing barriers to entry. This guide walks you through setting up a local development environment, from installing dependencies like K3d and Tilt to spinning up your first cluster.
