About:
MariaDB is a community-developed, commercially supported fork of the MySQL relational database management system. It is designed as a drop-in replacement, ensuring high compatibility with MySQL's APIs, commands, and libraries. The database offers enhanced performance, storage engines, and features, making it a robust choice for data-intensive applications.
Key Features:
  • Drop-in replacement for MySQL
  • High compatibility with MySQL APIs and clients
  • Enhanced storage engines like Aria, ColumnStore, and MyRocks
  • Advanced clustering with Galera Cluster
  • Open-source and community-driven
Use Cases:

Alternatives:
  • mysql – MySQL is the original upstream project; MariaDB is a community-driven fork often featuring performance improvements and different storage engines.
  • postgresql – PostgreSQL is an object-relational database known for strict SQL compliance and extensibility, whereas MariaDB prioritizes MySQL compatibility.
