An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
MariaDB is an open source database management system that extends MySQL by offering storage engines that support both transactional and analytic workloads. It is ACID-compliant and supports SQL queries, but can also handle columnar, row-based and hybrid (HTAP) data.
MariaDB (the company) offers an enterprise version of the database that supports distributed, cloud-based environments. These distributed deployments offer high availability via sophisticated data redundancy and data migration behind the scenes.
MariaDB can run natively on Kubernetes, taking advantage of Kubernetes’ built-in automated scale-out and self-healing capabilities.
Public cloud providers offer hosted versions of the open source MariaDB database, but those offerings don’t include MariaDB’s enterprise capabilities.
