#MariaDB has moved way beyond the legacy of #MySQL. With MariaDB, you’re getting the modern capabilities without the PostgreSQL migration tax. Take Jonathan Miller’s advice: stay within the MariaDB/MySQL ecosystem and gain access to these modern features without paying for them with your team's time, money, and resources. More of his advice from him and other former #MySQL leaders in our full webinar on navigating the post-Oracle MySQL era: bit.ly/4aODMdP

#MariaDB is evolving. We’re moving beyond our roots as a relational #database to become a comprehensive enterprise platform designed for the high-scale agentic demands of 2026. On April 8 at 8 am PST/11 am EST/4 pm GMT, MariaDB CPO Vikas Mathur and @GridGain VP and GM Lalit Ahuja are diving into how our new unified platform provides the sub-millisecond speed and extreme scale required to operationalize #AI.

As #WomensHistoryMonth comes to a close, we're looking ahead. At #MariaDB, we believe the next era of tech - shaped by the rise of #AI - is a massive opportunity to redefine who leads and how. From prioritizing strategic depth over "the loudest voice" to taking leaps of faith on unconventional talent, our leaders are proving that the future of innovation isn't just about the code, it’s about the perspective behind it. Swipe to hear from some of the women at MariaDB who are leading us forward and challenging us to think differently every single day.⭐

Recent global events remind us of a difficult truth: infrastructure failures rarely happen at convenient times. When your #database is the system of record for customer transactions or financial operations, downtime isn’t just inconvenient, it’s existential. Instead of treating disaster recovery as an afterthought, #MariaDB Cloud changes the equation. With a cloud-native architecture designed for resilience, organizations can deploy and manage disaster recovery environments without the traditional cost or complexity. Naman Shah on MariaDB's product team shares our guide to building a multi-region disaster recovery strategy with MariaDB Cloud: bit.ly/4lTlWeQ

With the recent acquisition of @GridGain, we aren’t just adding a tool to our belt to close the agentic #AI gap; #MariaDB is accelerating its vision to build the industry’s first AI-Ready Operating Platform. To make AI truly mission-critical, enterprises need a high-velocity grounding layer that can handle AI agents that iterate orders at a rate orders of magnitude faster than any human ever could. MariaDB CEO Rohit de Souza shares his vision for the future and how we've been working over the last 18 months to methodically add the foundational elements of this new era with a cloud-native experience, native vector search for RAG-based AI, and MariaDB Exa for real-time analytics. We’ve assembled the team, the real-time capabilities, and the massive footprint required to lead this era. Let’s help you build what’s next: bit.ly/48cSHhh

@GridGain Systems is officially part of #MariaDB. 👏 This acquisition is the largest milestone in a series of strategic moves to redefine the modern data stack for the AI era. It marks our move toward delivering an #AI-Ready Operating Platform. “Building for this level of scale today is like trying to build a high-speed machine out of a bucket of LEGOs – you have the pieces, but none of the pieces were meant to fit together under that kind of intensity,” said chief product officer, Vikas Mathur. GridGain’s technology is providing the foundation for our next phase of evolution: a globally distributed data layer.

Our advice to CIO’s that are considering Oracle renewal: create leverage. 💪 Former Global VP, MySQL Software Sales at Oracle, Marissa Alden, explains why this is so important and why considering alternatives, like #MariaDB, can provide that leverage.

As enterprises transition from simple #AI chatbots to autonomous agentic AI systems, traditional #data layers are reaching a breaking point. To build modern applications, developers are forced to manually stitch together disparate plugins for vector search, separate caching layers for speed, and fragmented cloud services for scale. There’s a better way. #MariaDB’s recent acquisition of @GridGain Systems integrates their world-class in-memory computing and builds vector search directly into our server core, eliminating the infrastructure “tax.” Join our upcoming webinar on April 8 at 8 am PST/11 am EST/4 pm GMT to learn more about how MariaDB is redefining what a #database platform can be. 🎫bit.ly/4rUMVIe

Another week, another #AI How To’s with #MariaDB! Roel Van de Paar is showing off a hybrid-retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) setup utilizing #MariaDB Cloud’s vector search and MCP augmentation. 📺 See how he builds a hybrid RAG app with MariaDB Cloud vector search and MCP in the Python 3 environment setup: bit.ly/41kQixd

#MariaDB and #MySQL may have shared roots, but the core difference lies in their architectural approaches and strategic visions. MariaDB’s product roadmap continues to expand to meet the demands of the modern #data landscape. 🖥️ The rapid integration of MariaDB Cloud and advanced capabilities like MariaDB Exa, MariaDB AI RAG, MCP Server, and more demonstrates our commitment to innovation. Our white paper breaks down every component of the two most popular open-source relational databases, and what makes MariaDB the clear winner: bit.ly/4b3osdd

We’re back with more #AI How To’s with #MariaDB! Manoj Vakeel is showing us a demo application for Oracle to MariaDB migration analysis. 👀 Using MariaDB Cloud’s vector search and other components, it evaluates local Oracle DDL and PL/SQL scripts against curated migration patterns to provide version-aware compatibility feedback. 📺 Watch the full demo: bit.ly/4rCFC7N

Not long ago, building a simple internal application meant waiting for engineering capacity and hoping the idea survived long enough to be prioritized. Now, #AI-assisted development tools have changed that dynamic. AI reduces the setup friction that once slowed experimentation. Now, the distinction is no longer experimentation vs. production – it’s controlled vs. exposed. #MariaDB VP of Product Management, Adam Luciano, shares how discipline is still a defining factor of success as AI-driven application development accelerates in @TheAIJournal1: bit.ly/40Hflua

🚨ICYMI: Last week, #MariaDB announced our agreement to acquire @GridGain Systems to create a unified, hybrid-cloud platform that can handle transactional, analytical, and #AI use cases in a single, high-velocity system. MariaDB CEO Rohit de Souza shared more with @CRN about this announcement and what this acquisition will mean for the future of MariaDB: bit.ly/3PxgvWE

On March 1, several AWS data centers across the Middle East went down. #MariaDB, which hosts multiple systems in those data centers, faced alerts across all impacted systems and services. However, our customers were able to operate their web and mobile applications without any interruptions. Why? MariaDB’s resilient #database architecture is more than a technical checkbox. It’s the critical difference between a massive service failure and invisible continuity during a regional disaster.

#MariaDB is feeling the need for speed. Until now, the highest-performing transaction systems were required only in a few vertical industries, such as telecom and financial services. Now, #AI is making low-latency #database response times a mainstream requirement. To meet this demand, MariaDB has entered an agreement to acquire @GridGain, which develops in-memory computing and created Apache Ignite. Learn more about this agreement that will deliver sub-millisecond #data performance for agentic AI workloads in @FierceNetwork_: bit.ly/4lqkO1R

Migrating from #MySQL to #MariaDB is so simple, you don’t even have to rewrite connectors. So simple, in fact, Rich Mason, former SVP and General Manager of MySQL Global Business Unit at Oracle, explains the process in under 60 seconds! ⏱️ Watch the full webinar where he and other former MySQL leaders detail the strategic risk of the post-Oracle MySQL era: bit.ly/4aODMdP
