Overall Satisfaction with MariaDB Platform

MariaDB is used for several in-house solutions with internal and customer visibility as well as a replica repository as the first stage of Analytic data. We use a combination of Galera and Primary Secondary with Maxscale as a load balancer and router. Currently, everything is on-prem but we are looking at migrating to the cloud.
  • Read/write split
  • Connection handling
  • Transaction replay
  • Service independence
  • Stats
  • Load Management
  • Galera Cluster for write heavy applications
  • Expanded Standard config templates
  • Cost effective
  • Maxscale is especially useful
  • Encryption
MariaDB gives a low-cost option for DB engines like Oracle with plenty of features and flexibility while having better ease of use than PostgreSQL.
Have always had great response times. Bug fixes can take a bit of time.
