About:
MariaDB 11.1 is a community-developed, open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) and a binary drop-in replacement for MySQL. It offers enhanced performance, security, and stability while maintaining compatibility with MySQL protocols, clients, and APIs. Its main value is providing a reliable, enterprise-ready database server with additional storage engines and features.

Key Features:

Binary drop-in replacement for MySQL
Enhanced performance with optimizer improvements
Advanced security features like data masking
Multiple storage engines (e.g., Aria, ColumnStore)
Active community development and support

Use Cases:

Web application backend database (e.g., for CMS like WordPress)
Enterprise data warehousing and analytics
Replacement for MySQL in existing deployments for improved features

Alternatives:

mysql – The original from which MariaDB was forked; MariaDB often includes newer features and performance enhancements.
postgresql – A more standards-compliant, feature-rich alternative, but not a binary drop-in replacement for MySQL.
