Why teams choose MariaDB — and when we agree.
MySQL compatibility, different governance
Drop-in compatibility for most workloads, with development driven by an open community rather than a single vendor.
Storage engine flexibility
ColumnStore and other engines available for workloads that benefit from something beyond InnoDB.
No vendor licensing surprises
Genuinely open-source, which matters to organizations wary of MySQL's ownership under Oracle.
Migration path that's usually straightforward
Most MySQL workloads migrate to MariaDB with minimal friction — we'll flag the exceptions honestly.
MariaDB work we actually ship.
Schema design & optimization
Database structures built around your application's actual query patterns.

What clients ask before hiring us for MariaDB.
In most cases yes — compatibility is generally strong, though we'll check your specific feature usage for any edge cases before migrating.
Mainly governance and licensing comfort — technically they're very close. If you don't have a specific concern there, either is a reasonable choice and we'll say so.
