Percona Distribution for MySQL is a single solution with the best and most critical enterprise components from the MySQL open source community, designed and tested to work together. With Percona Server for MySQL or Percona XtraDB Cluster as the base server, the distribution brings you the enterprise-grade features for free. The set of carefully selected components helps you operate your MySQL database to meet your application and business needs.

-
Improved performance and efficiency - integrated tools help DBAs maintain, manage and monitor the database performance and timely respond to changing demands.

Percona Distribution for MySQL comes in two deployment variants: one is based on Percona Server for MySQL and another one - on Percona XtraDB Cluster. They differ in the set of components and how you can use them.
Important
This release does not include the Percona Toolkit component. We will add it once a Percona Toolkit version compatible with MySQL 8.4 becomes available.
ProxySQL contains counters that have not been updated to use the new terminology. Unexpected results may occur. In an 8.4.x environment, the binlog reader errors out during initialization due to the use of old terminology, such as the SHOW MASTER STATUS command.
