Uber's collaboration with Percona is pretty neat. The fact that they've scaled their operations without relying on Oracle's support is a testament to the expertise and vision of their SRE and SWE teams. Respect!

Aren't they using Persona in lieu of Oracle.

So it's kind of the same difference, no?

Word on the street is Oracle contracts are expensive and hard to cancel, like a deal with the devil. Not sure if their MySQL support is any different than Oracle DB itself
