Percona Distribution for MongoDB 5.0.7
On April 20, 2022, we released Percona Distribution for MongoDB 5.0.7. It is a freely available MongoDB database alternative, giving you a single solution that combines enterprise components from the open source community, designed and tested to work together. The aim of Percona Distribution for MongoDB is to enable you to run and operate your MongoDB efficiently with the data being consistently backed up. This release of Percona Distribution for MongoDB includes the support of Keys Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP). Thus, users can store encryption keys in their favorite KMIP-compatible key manager to set up encryption at rest. This is a tech preview feature.

Percona Backup for MongoDB 1.7.0
On April 18, 2022, Percona Backup for MongoDB 1.7.0 was released. It is a distributed, low-impact solution for consistent backups of MongoDB sharded clusters and replica sets. This is a tool for creating consistent backups across a MongoDB sharded cluster (or a single replica set), and for restoring those backups to a specific point in time. A release highlight is support for physical backups in Percona Server for MongoDB starting from versions 4.2.15-16 and 4.4.6-8 and higher. Physical backups drastically speed up backup and restore performance for large databases (several terabytes). This is a technical preview feature.

Percona Monitoring and Management 1.17.5
Percona Monitoring and Management 1.17.5 was released on April 21, 2022. It is a free and open source platform for managing and monitoring MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL performance.
Important: This note aims to draw attention to the end of life of PMM1. As of May 2022, PMM1 goes End-of-life, and as such, there will be no updates (security or non-security), free or paid support, or online technical content updates. Thus, it is highly recommended to switch over to PMM2.

Percona XtraBackup 8.0.28-20
On April 26, 2022, Percona XtraBackup 8.0.28-20 was released. It is ideal for companies with large data sets and mission-critical applications that cannot tolerate long periods of downtime. Offered free as an open source solution, Percona XtraBackup drives down backup costs while providing unique features for MySQL backups. A release highlight is an improvement in the log statements structure. The uniformity of the headers makes it easier to follow an operation’s progress or review the log to diagnose issues. The improved log structure is displayed in the backup, prepare, move-back/copy-back error logs
