Engaging with the Product Committee

March 19, 2026

The Product Committee are the volunteers responsible for making product decisions. We need your input to make good decisions. Many people know this but the number of networks in PeeringDB has almost doubled in just five years. There were almost 17,400 networks listed in PeeringDB at the start of 2020 —and there are over 33,000 today.

A lot of new people are using PeeringDB now, so it’s worth recapping how you can engage with us. We want to engage with you because hearing your context will help us make the best decisions.

  1. Our volunteers attend a wide range of industry events around the world. We were at 33 events in 2025 and they are a great place to speak with someone about a product issue. We're planning to attend over 40 in 2026.
  2. We also post regularly on several social media platforms.
  3. We have a few low traffic mailing lists where people can ask questions and engage with PeeringDB volunteers. Feel free to look at the archives, subscribe, and engage there.
  4. GitHub. Our code is published on GitHub and you can open an issue there and engage in the issue.

But engagement isn’t limited to in-person or in writing.

We meet as a committee once a month and discuss open issues. If you’ve created an issue and want to answer the committee’s questions about it you can let us know and we’ll invite you to the meeting. And if you can’t join the meeting but want to share something beyond what’s in GitHub then you can share a document, a video, or whatever is the best way to communicate the need.

If you have an idea to improve PeeringDB you can share it on our low traffic mailing lists or create an issue directly on GitHub. If you find a data quality issue, please let us know at support@peeringdb.com.

PeeringDB is a freely available, user-maintained, database of networks, and the go-to location for interconnection data. The database facilitates the global interconnection of networks at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), data centers, and other interconnection facilities, and is the first stop in making interconnection decisions.
