MariaDB Foundation - MariaDB.org

MariaDB is an open-source relational database server forked from MySQL providing drop-in compatibility with additional features and performance improvements. The platform offers multiple storage engines including InnoDB MyRocks and ColumnStore each optimized for different workloads. MariaDB provides backward compatibility with MySQL alongside Galera clustering for multi-master synchronous replication. Organizations using MySQL migrate to MariaDB for its open-source governance and enhanced features.
