Knowledge Base | Percona Community

Powered by Percona Server for PostgreSQL and pgvector
Guides, blogs, forums, and learning resources for the open source database community.
Percona’s software is open source. That means the code, the documentation, the bug tracker, and the forum are all places where you can contribute — and where contributions actually shape what ships.
Whatever your starting point, there’s a real way in. Pick the one that matches the time and energy you have right now. None of these paths is more valuable than the others.
The Percona Forum is where DBAs and developers go when something’s gone wrong at 2 a.m. If you’ve solved a problem before, your answer is worth more than any blog post — because someone is searching for it right now.
You don’t need to be an expert across the stack. Pick a topic you actually run in production and watch that category.
Code contributions are welcome across every Percona repository — fixes, features, tests, documentation patches. If you want a curated entry point, the Newbie-labeled tasks in Jira are scoped for a first contribution.
Fork, branch, commit, and open a PR against the relevant repo. Keep the diff focused. Reference the issue you’re closing. After the PR is open, drop a note to community-team@percona.com so we can give it visibility.
If something’s broken, behaves unexpectedly, or the docs don’t match reality, file an issue. A clear bug report with reproduction steps, version numbers, and the actual vs. expected behavior is one of the most useful things you can give a maintainer.
Find the right repository under github.com/percona and open an issue there. If you’re not sure which repo, ask on the forum first.
Start here if you’ve hit a bug or a doc gap and you’ve got 15 minutes.
Connect and share your experience
Contributors get acknowledged in release notes, in the contributors directory, and occasionally with Percona swag. That’s a side effect, not the point — the point is that the software gets better when the people who use it shape it.
