MariaDB is used like any other relational database where we need complex join queries as well as tasks like read and write using the tool. The tool also offers support in terms of sharding, which is why we use MariaDB. Every time we use the tool, we have some kind of a reason, or, I would say, a requirement of asset compliance, which is atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability, which is only provided by a relational database. Companies usually go towards open-source databases. Oracle is very costly. Oracle is not an open-source tool, which is why people tend to go towards open-source. The databases are doing pretty well in different applications.
In my work with ServiceNow, customer instances typically use MariaDB databases. As a performance engineer and tester, I focus on the application's performance and ensure its smooth integration with MariaDB. This means I'm responsible for identifying and troubleshooting any performance issues that might arise. A relational database like MariaDB offers several advantages, including faster query execution and improved login security. Having evaluated other options like MySQL, I find MariaDB's strengths align perfectly with my specific database needs.

We use MariaDB for any instance where we need faster retrieval and processing rates, such as establishing relationships between data entities through entity relationship mapping. MariaDB is our preference for structured data, like user details or product information. However, for handling non-structured data, such as metadata, we prefer DynamoDB or MongoDB.

We are into IoT intrusion systems. Our product is based on building automation systems. We get sensor data from across the regions. We have our own cloud hosted in GCP. The sensor data comes directly to Cassandra. We use MariaDB as a data source for UI purposes. We use a 3-node multi-master architecture using MariaDB Galera Cluster. It is deployed on Kubernetes.
The solution is essentially an enterprise application. In our setup, there was a considerable amount of data being utilized. Later, the application shifted to the cloud, and for this cloud migration, we opted for a database switch from Oracle to MariaDB. That's why we migrated all the data and components to MariaDB.

I was just creating databases and doing research, basically. I've been creating new services and updating those databases in MariaDB. So, I've been learning all the SQL stuff, exploring it on my ID. This was for personal use, not for a company.
I use MariaDB since my organization has different customers who use different databases. My company caters to the customers' needs depending on the database they want to use.
For various applications, we use MariaDB as a database to test the incoming and outgoing data for any application. We check the relational database, how it's working, how the data is organized, how the queries have been written, and how we can streamline or improve the performance of these stored procedures. These are the things we look for to maintain a good relationship between the front end and the back end of the system.
We use several solutions for analyzing purposes including MariaDB, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. Our use cases for MariaDB are 50% for transferring data and 50% for storage purposes.
We mostly use MariaDB on smaller systems, not for mission critical systems. For mission critical systems, we use Oracle. We're using version 10.5. The solution is deployed on-premises. We're a very centralized operation. We install the system on an application, the application runs the services, and people consume those services. We have three systems running this on the database.

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,...
