Overall Satisfaction with MariaDB

I use MariaDB for every aspect of my database. I prefer using MariaDB over MySQL!
  • A bunch of third party storage engines.
  • Various performance enhancements.
  • Parallel replication and multi-source replication.
  • The future of MariaDB is uncertain. It is developed mainly by a small company that may not have as strong a future as Oracle. There have been and will continue to be MySQL improvements that will never make it into MariaDB.
  • MariaDB has basically forked off of MySQL 5.5, and it will not acquire all the features of MySQL 5.6 or future releases.
  • I really chose MariaDB for speed over MySQL.
I use it instead of MySQL everywhere.
