I would fully recommend MariaDB. It is stable, performs well, and is relatively easy to handle. Overall, it has good basic functionality. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
In terms of data management efficiency, I would say that it is pretty efficient. The tool is simpler to support if you talk from an engineer's perspective, and it is easier to provide any assistance to the customer who needs some kind of data from their product. The tool provides its own high availability, which means a 99.99 percent high availability. The biggest thing about the tool is that it is an open-source product, and it is supported by a community, which is pretty nice, especially because the community improves the product pretty well. If the product was available at a certain price, there are very few requirements in such scenarios. For open-source products, there are multiple requirements, so the product is enhanced way faster, and that is why people prefer an open-source tool. MariaDB or MySQL are some of the most used relational databases. It is not very complicated to maintain the tool. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
I would rate MariaDB eight out of ten. MariaDB excels for well-defined tasks involving specific data sets. However, it might not be ideal for highly dynamic situations requiring frequent exploration and manipulation of large, diverse data volumes.
I set up the product's functionality replication on a virtual private network with a separate database server, which has significantly improved our data management. Although we have not yet scaled to the point of needing multiple clusters, the replication setup serves as a real-time backup for disaster recovery purposes. The product has been highly reliable, and regular updates as part of our server maintenance routine ensure smooth operation. My overall experience with the product has been very positive. It has consistently delivered excellent performance and stability across our various projects. We have encountered very few issues over the years, and when we have, the community support has been strong, assisting us in resolving problems quickly. Its reliability is crucial for the critical applications we run. The learning curve is quite manageable, especially for those already familiar with MySQL. The two products share many similarities, so transitioning from MySQL to this solution was relatively seamless for our team. Comprehensive documentation and active community support further simplify the learning process, making it easier for developers to get up to speed. We have used it for a long time, proven very stable. Additionally, it is an excellent alternative to MySQL, especially considering the changes after Oracle's acquisition. The strong community support and integration with our existing infrastructure enhance its value. I rate it a ten out of ten.

A few EC2 instances are running that solve the MySQL and the service. Cross-functional GUIs are currently available. For example, we use DB Workbench, a solution that provides a GUI interface for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and several other databases. It is seamless unless we want more advanced features, like simple database charting or event scheduling, which MariaDB doesn't support. Our security team and platform team maintain security features. So, it depends on the type of protocols they use. There are no particular challenges because the development kit, such as all the SD cases that are DB connectors, is well supported by Python and Java. Our AI projects' data comes from non-relational sources like Mongo and Dynamo. Therefore, there's no direct correlation. However, MariaDB merely serves as a repository for information, such as profile data or some form of structured text (NTT), which can be displayed in tables or otherwise. It depends on whether they prioritize performance and features. If so, they might prefer Postgres. However, MariaDB could be the better choice if they prioritize a time-tested solution and lower costs. MariaDB offers more features than its competitors. It supports features like sharding and concurrent connections. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We had planned for an RDBMS version and not NoSQL. We use MariaDB Galera Cluster. It's a good product. It is cheap, scalable, performs well, and is efficient. We use GCP’s BigQuery for machine learning. We must follow the best practices of the tool. We missed some best practices like the storage engine and InnoDB. It was very difficult to identify why we were having performance issues. Then, we realized that some of our tables were still on MyISAM, the default storage engine. When we switched it back to the InnoDB, it was very smooth. InnoDB is the recommended one. We must follow the best practices given in the documentation during the initial setup. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

I would suggest do your research first, especially regarding security. You should probably search for reference materials for MariaDB, and then you should get into it. Don't just dive straight into it. You should have done some sort of research before getting into it. That would be my advice. Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.
I would tell those planning to use the solution that it is pretty much the same as MySQL, but since my company has dealt with only one instance in MariaDB, I can't say much about it. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

MariaDB emerged as a distinct entity originating from MySQL, rather than being an inherent part of it. Formed in 2009 due to apprehensions that Oracle Corporation might negatively impact MySQL, which they acquired in 2010. When deciding between MySQL and MariaDB, the feature disparity is minimal. MySQL has adeptly upheld compatibility since the transition, making it primarily a matter of personal preference. Some features differ between MariaDB and MySQL, catering to unique preferences. In essence, MariaDB is a highly favored relational database, a commendable choice within the relational database realm. For those seeking a relational database, MariaDB stands as a solid option. As for purchasing a database, MariaDB comes highly recommended. It claims the second-highest rank globally and holds the second spot in the DB-Engines ranking. MongoDB ranks a bit lower, but the choice between the two is essentially equivalent. On the whole, I would assign a rating of seven out of ten to this solution.
I would rate MariaDB almost an eight out of ten. I think it's a pretty useful database. It's very simple to install and that's one of the very positive things about it because sometimes if you go into tools like Oracle, it is more difficult. It is not just the downloading of the installer on any computer from Linux or Mac or Windows. MariaDB works in a blink of an eye, and the database runs right away.
My advice would be, if you can handle the security aspect, MariaDB is a lightweight, scalable, and maintainable database that can be used for both small and large applications. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it nine. Due to its cost-effectiveness, scalability, and flexibility, I find it highly commendable.
If someone asked me about MariaDB, I would say that it is easy to implement and stable. However, it lacks a significant number of experts in the market compared to Postgres. Integration can also be a challenge. I would rate Maria DB a seven out of ten.
If I am teaching somebody to program and write applications, I usually use MariaDB by default because it's open source, pretty available, and overall, I would rate MariaDB a ten out of ten. But if I want to do a major deployment, I would have to get support. It's very stable. For example, I was using it to host a monitoring system, and it's been stable for a very long time. I haven't upgraded it yet, but it's working fine. It's been seven years since I did the last deployment, and it's still fine.
I would rate this solution as nine out of ten. It has a lower cost of ownership, and you need less effort to get it up and running. There's less effort in getting to know the system compared to other database systems. I would encourage people to move to it, especially if they've already used MySQL.
The solution is best for medium-sized businesses. If you have a very large business I would recommend looking at an alternative. Oracle is better for large businesses. I rate MariaDB an eight out of ten.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. I'm very happy with it overall. I would recommend the solution to others. It's easy to find details about the product online and to learn about it.
I would tell potential users that If they want an open-source database that can handle huge volumes and is reliable and strong, then I would recommend it. On a scale from one to ten, I would give MariaDB a ten.
We typically deal with the latest version of the solution. We are a system integrator and a solution provider. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We're mostly pleased with its general capabilities. We would recommend this to other users and companies. We already actively recommend it to clients.

We implement the solution. We typically deal with on-premises deployments. We use the latest version of the solution. Overall, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I'd recommend the solution. We've largely been happy with it so far.
I would recommend that if a company wants to do everything in-house and doesn't have support, it's important to have good database administrators, because the initial setup is straightforward, but a lot of optimization is needed, and it requires skillful administrators. I'd recommend some good planning from the beginning, and it's important to figure out whether the company needs to do some database partitioning. Carry out good research from the beginning, because if it's not taken care of then, there will be problems. I rate this solution an eight out of 10.
I would definitely recommend this solution. It has worked very well for us so far. I have no complaints about it. I would rate MariaDB a nine out of ten.
I think that for a small team of fewer than ten people, such as a couple of developers, MariaDB is a very easy start. When the team size grows or when the complexity of the application grows, you might need to try other options such as Ingres or MySQL. In our case, at the very beginning, MariaDB covered almost every technical requirement for releasing version one of our application. It is definitely a good start. Once the product has grown to a point where the developers know in which aspect MariaDB does not fulfill the requirements, then it's time to find a better match. At this point, I cannot think of any additional features that I would like to see because most of what I want is already on the roadmap. I think that they plan to implement them one by one. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Our use of MariaDB is very basic, so it's a good platform compared to many others. As it is a good product, I can recommend it to any users. If you want to have paid versions then there is Oracle and Microsoft SQL, but MariaDB is quite good and unless you have some specialized requirements, of which I don't know what they could be, you can use mariaDB. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

If you require the use of columnar queries then you should be using MariaDB. Our usage is very limited and we don't know all of the features and how they function. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten, as I have not yet explored all of the functions.
I am an IT engineer. I am always researching the best solutions for our clients. I work mainly with open-source solutions, such as Liferay and WordPress. Before this product was called MariaDB it was called MySQL. I would say that for most use cases it works fine. Before implementing you have to understand what your use case is for. Other databases work better for different use cases. You have to ask yourself if you want to use a relational database or a NoSQL. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

There are many valuable features in MariaDB. MariaDB is a very good database when everything works fine, and I would recommend it. However, I work in operations and if something goes wrong there is no way to start an analysis because MariaDB doesn't provide many tools that help to understand the problem. In order to make this an enterprise tool, or an enterprise-level database, it needs to improve from this perspective. Otherwise, it will only be good for very small deployments. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
We are resellers but we are willing to be partners with MariaDB. Before starting with the implementation and deployment you should read the guide. You should look at the suggested tips, tricks, clues, and the requirements to avoid having any problems. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
MariaDB is an open source relational database created by the original founders of MySQL. It is considered one of the most popular and trusted database servers throughout the world. MariaDB is a valued component found in most cloud offerings and is the default in many Linux tools. It is also widely used by Wikipedia, WordPress, and Google, among other well-known sites. Maria DB easily melds data into concise information from a vast array of applications, such as banking, online shopping,...
