Percona Server for MongoDB (PSMDB) 8.0.28-12 now officially supports RHEL 10 and its derivatives (Oracle Linux 10, Rocky Linux 10, AlmaLinux 10) plus Debian 13 "Trixie", on both x86_64 and ARM (aarch64) architectures. Notably, upstream MongoDB Community/Enterprise does not yet officially support Debian 13, making PSMDB the first to offer native Trixie packages. The release also introduces SBOMs in CycloneDX format and OpenVEX files for supply chain transparency. The post highlights growing ARM adoption for database workloads — citing nearly 3x ARM instance growth in Percona's telemetry over 12 months — and notes cost savings reported by large-scale users. A key migration consideration for RHEL 10 on x86_64 is the raised CPU baseline to x86-64-v3 (requiring AVX2 support). Support will continue for PSMDB 8.0, 8.3, and newer releases.

Does Percona Server for MongoDB support Debian 13 Trixie?
Yes, Percona Server for MongoDB 8.0.28-12 adds native Debian 13 "Trixie" packages for both x86_64 and ARM64. Upstream MongoDB Community/Enterprise Server does not yet officially support Debian 13 — the documented community workaround is to install the Debian 12 Bookworm build on Trixie hosts. PSMDB closes that gap with a proper native build rather than an out-of-distro workaround. Teams running Debian 13 hosts track MongoDB compatibility gaps like this on daily.dev.
What CPU microarchitecture level does RHEL 10 require for x86_64?
RHEL 10 raises the x86_64 CPU baseline to the x86-64-v3 microarchitecture level, which requires instruction set support including AVX2. This applies equally to Oracle Linux 10, Rocky Linux 10, and AlmaLinux 10, since they build from the same upstream sources. Older bare-metal hardware that predates AVX2 will not run RHEL 10 on x86_64. Engineers planning RHEL 10 migrations keep hardware compatibility details like this in view on daily.dev.
