Percona Expands Database Stack with PostgreSQL Encryption and Valkey
Percona announced enterprise-grade support for Valkey and introduced the first fully open source Transparent Data Encryption for PostgreSQL, eliminating reliance on proprietary database extensions.
Open source database software company Percona is expanding its enterprise database stack with two major initiatives: the first fully open source Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) for PostgreSQL and enterprise-grade support for Valkey, the community-led Redis alternative.
PostgreSQL Transparent Data Encryption
Percona's pg_tde extension, which reached general availability on July 1, 2025, provides transparent data encryption for PostgreSQL without proprietary licensing restrictions. The solution enables organizations to secure sensitive data at rest and meet compliance requirements including GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and PCI DSS v4.0. Unlike proprietary alternatives, pg_tde is fully open source, eliminating licensing fees, usage restrictions, and vendor lock-in concerns. The extension integrates seamlessly with Percona for PostgreSQL on Kubernetes and traditional deployments.
Valkey Enterprise Support
Following licensing changes in the Redis ecosystem, Percona expanded enterprise-grade support to Valkey, providing customers with a trusted open alternative. Valkey emerged as a community-led fork after Redis transitioned to a source-available license, creating demand for a truly open source in-memory data store. Percona's support offering gives enterprises the confidence to deploy Valkey in production with the backing of experienced database specialists.
Open Source Strategy for 2026
These initiatives represent Percona's commitment to providing open source alternatives to proprietary database solutions. By delivering enterprise-grade security features and support for community-driven projects, Percona is helping organizations maintain open source infrastructure without compromising on security, compliance, or reliability.
