MariaDB

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve entered a definitive agreement to acquire @GridGain. By merging our #AI-ready relational #database with GridGain’s scalable, in-memory power, we’re setting a new industry standard: sub-millisecond data infrastructure for the agentic era. 💪 Learn more: mariadb.com/newsroom/press…

#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

The demands placed on #databases are shifting. As companies experiment with #AI systems and agentic applications, developers are running into an all-too-familiar constraint: Many of the databases underpinning business systems were designed in an era when millisecond response times were considered fast enough, and AI workloads were unheard of. Our solution: #MariaDB announced an agreement to acquire @GridGain Systems.
