MariaDB’s annual OpenWorks user conference features sessions offering practical solutions for DBAs, developers, DevOps, cloud technologists and decision-makers. Fill out the form to watch the on-demand recordings from the comfort of your home office – or wherever you are!

On-demand: Introducing the ultimate MariaDB cloud, SkySQL
Learn about SkySQL – the first and only DBaaS engineered for MariaDB by MariaDB. Get an overview of its capabilities, take a tour of its architecture, discuss the long-term roadmap, and see a live demo, including a preview of its deep learning–based workload analysis and visualization interface.

On-demand: Under the hood: SkySQL monitoring
SkySQL uses best-of-breed software, and when it comes to metrics and monitoring, that means Prometheus and Grafana. SkySQL Monitor is built on both – and in this session you'll learn how SkySQL Monitor works, walk through its dashboards and see how to monitor key metrics for performance and replication.

On-demand: Introducing workload analysis
SkySQL is the world's only DBaaS that performs workload analysis with advanced deep learning models, identifying and classifying discrete workload patterns so DBAs can better understand database workloads, identify anomalies and predict changes. In this session, you'll learn how it works and how you can use it in the real world.

On-demand: Introducing the R2DBC async Java connector
Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC) enables integration of SQL databases into systems that use reactive programming models. Learn about the new MariaDB R2DBC connector; examine the advantages of fully-reactive, non-blocking development with MariaDB; and get a first-hand look at what it’s like to use the new connector.

On-demand: MariaDB Enterprise Tools introduction
To provide DBAs with comprehensive tooling, we created MariaDB Enterprise Tools: an easy-to-use and modular command-line interface for interacting with any part of MariaDB Platform. Get an overview, walk through the modules, and learn what's next, including plans for SkySQL modules and the ability to create custom modules.

On-demand: What to expect from MariaDB Platform X5 – Part 1
Get to know the new features and enhancements available in MariaDB Platform X5, including Xpand (a fully distributed storage engine for scaling out), enhancements to temporal tables, additional JSON functions, a new performance schema, non-blocking schema changes with clustering and a Hashicorp Vault plugin for key management.

On-demand: What to expect from MariaDB Platform X5 – Part 2
MariaDB Platform X5 will include MariaDB MaxScale 2.5 (with its brand-new web UI for configuration and monitoring) and MariaDB ColumnStore 1.5 (with cluster management reimplemented in MariaDB MaxScale for improved ease of use and deployment). Get a walkthrough of new features and learn about plans for the next releases.

On-demand: Faster, better, stronger: the new InnoDB
Our default transactional storage engine, InnoDB, has been significantly rewritten for improved write and backup performance, reduced code and configuration complexity, and better crash recovery. We'll dive deep to demonstrate how these improvements help everything from configuration and performance to reliability.

On-demand: The architecture of SkySQL
Walk through SkySQL's architecture and discuss how MariaDB leverages an advanced Kubernetes operator and powerful ServiceNow configuration/workflow management to deploy and manage databases on cloud infrastructure.
