About MariaDB
MariaDB is an open-source RDBMS and a highly efficient alternative to MySQL. It was developed by the founders of MySQL, aiming at providing faster, more secure, and community-driven database system.
MariaDB is applied for various kinds of web applications, enterprise solutions, cloud services, SaaS, and database engines. MariaDB provides excellent compatibility with MySQL, so companies that use MySQL-based applications can migrate to MariaDB without many difficulties.
The high performance, storage engine, SQL compatibility, replication, clustering, JSON, security, and scalability of MariaDB allow it to become an optimal choice of database for developers who want a reliable open-source database.
Developers who use frameworks such as Laravel, WordPress, Django, Spring Boot, and Node.js may prefer MariaDB because of its great flexibility, fast query execution, and active developer community.
