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.
