Frequently Asked Questions
How many databases does JusDB support vs Percona?
JusDB supports 9+ databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, Aerospike, StarRocks, ClickHouse, Redis/Valkey, Elasticsearch, TiDB). Percona supports 4 (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB). JusDB covers 2.5x more database technologies.
Is Percona cheaper than JusDB?
No. Percona's average annual customer spend is approximately $154,000/year (source: Vendr). JusDB's India-based delivery model offers comparable or better service at 50-70% lower cost for most engagements.
Does JusDB have open-source tools like Percona?
Percona has a strong open-source tooling ecosystem (PMM, XtraBackup, Percona Operators). JusDB does not develop its own open-source tools but leverages and manages the best available tools for each database, including Percona's own tools where applicable.
Which is better for Cassandra, Aerospike, or StarRocks?
JusDB is the only option. Percona does not support Cassandra, Aerospike, StarRocks, ClickHouse, Redis, Elasticsearch, or TiDB. If your stack includes any of these, Percona cannot help.
Can I use Percona tools with JusDB support?
Yes. JusDB can manage databases that use Percona Server for MySQL, PMM for monitoring, and XtraBackup for backups. You get the best of both worlds — Percona's open-source tools with JusDB's cost-effective managed support.
