AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Percona, a provider of open source database software, support, and services, today announced a partnership with Coroot, an open source observability company, to bring Coroot Percona Edition to Percona customers.
As organizations adopt distributed, cloud-native, and Kubernetes-based infrastructure, identifying the cause of an application slowdown or outage often requires following signals across multiple layers of the technology stack. Database teams are increasingly troubleshooting issues that originate outside the database itself, creating a need for broader observability without sacrificing the deep database insight they already rely on.
Coroot Percona Edition complements Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), which gives database teams deep visibility into database health, queries, replication, and other engine-specific internals. Coroot extends that visibility across the applications, networks, and infrastructure surrounding those databases, giving teams a broader view alongside PMM’s database-level insight. Rather than surfacing another set of metrics to interpret, Coroot automatically traces an issue across that stack to its root cause, and for database-related findings, can route teams directly into a Percona Support case, shortening the path from detection to fix.
“The database is at the center of critical applications, but it does not operate in isolation,” said Peter Farkas, CEO of Percona. “Our customers need to understand what is happening both inside the database and across everything that depends on it. By combining Coroot’s broader observability capabilities with Percona’s database expertise and support, we can give teams a more complete picture of their environments, not just a symptom, but the root cause behind it, and help them get from identifying a problem to resolving it faster.”
Coroot Percona Edition provides visibility across the technology stack to help organizations understand dependencies and investigate incidents. Key capabilities include:
- Automatic full-stack telemetry: Correlates signals across applications, networks, infrastructure, and databases, helping teams see how issues in one part of the environment affect another.
- AI-powered root-cause analysis: Automatically analyzes telemetry to identify likely causes of incidents and provide supporting evidence, reducing the manual work required to connect signals across multiple systems.
- Cloud-native observability: Designed for Kubernetes and other dynamic environments, maintaining visibility as services scale, infrastructure changes, and nodes move or disappear.
- Greater deployment control: Supports self-hosted and fully air-gapped deployments, allowing organizations to keep observability data within infrastructure they control.
- Percona expertise and integration: Combines Coroot’s broader observability capabilities with Percona’s database experience supporting open source databases and the environments they run in.
This partnership will also support the development of deeper alignment designed specifically for Percona customers, including integrations with Percona Support, PMM, Percona Operators, OpenEverest, and Percona’s database knowledge base.
“Coroot was built to help engineering teams understand how complex systems behave as a whole,” said Nikolay Sivko, CEO at Coroot. “By partnering with Percona, we can bring that broad visibility together with deep database expertise, helping customers connect what is happening across their applications and infrastructure back to the databases those systems depend on.”
