Join us for an exclusive Ask Me Anything (AMA) session with Michael "Monty" Widenius, the creator and founder of both MySQL and MariaDB. As organizations face critical decisions about their database infrastructure, this session offers a unique opportunity to gain insights from one of the most influential figures in open source database technology.

With MySQL 5.7 now in its end-of-life and MySQL 8.0 users grappling with Oracle's upgrade path to the underwhelmingly received version 9.0, many are questioning their next move. Should you stick with MySQL, switch to MariaDB, or consider alternatives like PostgreSQL?

This AMA will delve into these issues, where you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions, such as:
  • How MariaDB stacks up against MySQL in terms of features and performance
  • The potential impact of Oracle's focus on proprietary solutions like HeatWave
  • Practical aspects of migrating from MySQL to MariaDB, including preparation, partitioned tables, and replication
  • What you can expect from the migration process when you decide to move to MariaDB
Don't miss this chance to ask your migration questions and start your journey with MariaDB.
