DESCRIPTION:OpenEverest is an open-source\, cloud-native platform designed 
 to simplify running\, managing\, and scaling diverse data workloads on Kub
 ernetes. It evolved from a single-vendor initiative to a CNCF Sandbox proj
 ect in March 2026 by moving beyond its initial vendor-specific platform. W
 hile initial support was limited to PostgreSQL\, MySQL\, and MongoDB due t
 o its single-vendor roots\, the project is now making it easy to extend th
 e original system with a modular plugin architecture to enable seamless mu
 lti-vendor integration.\n\nThis transition from a vendor-specific ecosyste
 m to an extensible provider-based design serves as the primary enabler for
  the community to extend the capability of OpenEverest seamlessly\, allowi
 ng for the integration of any technology regardless of the founding vendor
 's roadmap. This session examines the technical refactoring into a plugin-
 based system and the milestones required to achieve true vendor neutrality
  and CNCF Sandbox status. Participants will gain a practical blueprint for
  transforming single-vendor projects into inclusive\, community-driven clo
 ud-native platforms.
