About:
MariaDB 10.3 is a community-developed, open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that serves as a binary drop-in replacement for MySQL. It offers enhanced performance, security, and storage engine features like the Aria storage engine and system-versioned tables. Its primary value is providing a stable, feature-rich, and fully compatible database solution for applications built for MySQL.

Key Features:

Binary drop-in replacement for MySQL
Enhanced security with data masking and roles
Improved performance with optimizer hints and query control
Advanced storage engines (Aria, ColumnStore, MyRocks)
System-versioned tables for temporal data

Use Cases:

Web application backend requiring a MySQL-compatible database
Legacy system migration seeking a more feature-rich and open-source RDBMS
Data warehousing and analytics using the ColumnStore engine

Alternatives:

mysql – The upstream project; MariaDB offers additional features and open-source governance.
postgresql – A powerful, standards-compliant alternative, but not a binary drop-in for MySQL.
