MariaDB fully managed cloud service

SkySQL is a second generation cloud database service that automates deployment, management and scaling of MariaDB Enterprise Server, Xpand, and ColumnStore database instances, surrounded by a comprehensive set of the following included services:  

• Intuitive self-service UX with options for auto-scaling up and down (vertical node scaling) and in and out (active HA nodes)

• Serverless Analytics powered by Apache Spark with Zero-ETL from SkySQL databases, S3 and other object stores

• Notebook powered by Apache Zepellin for data science and ad hoc analytics

• SQL Query Editor for provisioned databases

• Observability services for log collection, event management, alerting, and customized data-centric dashboards 

• SkyDBA fractional DBA-as-a-service (optional)

SkySQL is built on Kubernetes and runs on AWS and Google Cloud Platform.

MariaDB open source SQL dialect and implementation

MariaDB is the most powerful open source relational database – modern SQL and JSON support, Oracle Database compatibility, continuous availability and comprehensive security.

MariaDB can be deployed as a standard database, a distributed SQL database or as a data warehouse. It supports transactional, analytical and hybrid transactional/analytical processing (HTAP) with row storage for fast transactions and columnar storage for scalable analytics.

MariaDB's versatility stems from its pluggable storage engine architecture, with different storage engines optimized for different workloads. 

MariaDB database portfolio (on-premise, private cloud, or SkySQL deployment options)

MariaDB Xpand is a distributed SQL engine for MariaDB, providing it with unlimited read, write and storage scalability via distributed transactions, tables and indexes.

MariaDB ColumnStore is a columnar storage engine for MariaDB, transforming it into a data warehouse for interactive, ad hoc analytics at scale. In addition, it has optional support for massively parallel processing and object storage (e.g., Amazon S3).

MariaDB MaxScale is an advanced database proxy for MariaDB. It abstracts away the physical database infrastructure so developers don't have to worry about using separate read/write connections or handling load balancing, and DBAs can add replicas/nodes or perform upgrades without interrupting production applications.

MariaDB Enterprise Server is an enhanced, hardened and secured version of MariaDB created to provide customers with enterprise reliability, stability and long-term support.

Second generation cloud database service, SkySQL

MariaDB plc is focused on delivering affordable and accessible database innovation you won’t find in first generation cloud database services.  With the Hyperscaler database services you don’t get multicloud, cloud-native technology and intelligent automation with an intuitive and comprehensive set of services easy used by both IT professionals (DBAs, CloudOps) as well as developers, engineerings, scientists and analysts.  If you know SQL and have used SaaS apps, you can easily use SkySQL.

MariaDB Servers have many features unavailable in other open source relational databases.

• Encryption at rest
• Point-in-time rollback
• Multi-master clustering
• Encryption at rest
• Sharding
• Table and log compression
• Temporal tables
• Oracle PL/SQL compatibility
• Columnar storage

MariaDB provides additional features previously unseen in open source relational databases.

Zero Interruption Failover (ZIF) preserves existing connections, recovers any in-flight transactions and retries any failed queries, making database instance failures completely transparent to applications.

Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) stores data in both row and columnar formats, enabling customer-facing transactional applications to incorporate fast analytics on near real-time data.

Distributed SQL allows for unlimited scaling on demand, capable of handling millions of transactions per second with strong consistency and continuous availability with zonal awareness.

Web, SaaS and Cloud operational applications that require high availability, scalability and performance for transactional and analytical processing workloads.  With MariaDB SkySQL, you get a fully-managed Cloud Database service that empowers developers, engineers, analysts, scientists and other power users to rapidly build and deploy data-centric applications with little or no IT support, up-front cost, or long-term commitments - critical for small to medium size enterprises or departmental operations within larger organizations.
