About:
MariaDB 11.8 is a community-developed, commercially supported fork of MySQL, designed as a drop-in replacement. It provides enhanced performance, advanced clustering with Galera Cluster 4, and robust storage engines like Aria and ColumnStore. This version ensures compatibility while offering new features and optimizations not found in upstream MySQL.
Key Features:
  • Drop-in MySQL compatibility
  • Galera Cluster 4 integration
  • Advanced ColumnStore storage
  • Improved performance and optimizations
Use Cases:
  • Migrating existing MySQL databases without code changes
  • Running high-availability database clusters
  • Enterprise-grade relational database management
Alternatives:
  • mysql – MySQL is the upstream original; MariaDB offers more features and community-driven development
  • postgresql – PostgreSQL is a different RDBMS with stricter standards compliance but less MySQL compatibility
