About:
MariaDB 10.8 is a community-developed, open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that serves as a binary-compatible, drop-in replacement for MySQL. It offers enhanced performance, security, and a rich set of storage engines and features not found in the original MySQL, making it a robust choice for modern database applications.

Key Features:

Binary-compatible drop-in replacement for MySQL
Includes storage engines like Aria, ColumnStore, and MyRocks
Advanced security features including data masking and password validation
Performance improvements with optimizer enhancements and parallel replication
Active open-source development and community support

Use Cases:

Serving as the primary database for web applications (e.g., CMS, e-commerce)
Data warehousing and analytics with specialized storage engines
Replacing MySQL in existing infrastructure for improved features and performance

Alternatives:

mysql – The original database from which MariaDB was forked; MariaDB often includes newer features and performance optimizations.
postgresql – A powerful, standards-compliant open-source RDBMS with a different feature set and SQL dialect, often chosen for complex data integrity and advanced data types.
