MariaDB

MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system that is a fork of MySQL, developed by the original developers of MySQL to provide a more open governance model. It is designed to maintain high compatibility with MySQL, ensuring that applications built on MySQL can be smoothly transitioned to MariaDB with minimal changes. Focused on performance, reliability, and security, MariaDB supports a wide array of storage engines, plugins, and tools that make it highly extensible and adaptable to various application needs. It is known for supporting various SQL and NoSQL models, and provides robust features such as built-in sharding, columnar storage, and advanced clustering with Galera Cluster integration for greater scalability and redundancy. For developers building applications with rich database needs, MariaDB offers an enterprise-grade solution with the benefits of open-source flexibility and community-driven innovation.
