Migrate to the open source database built for modern enterprise workloads—featuring vector search, temporal tables, columnar analytics, and a friction-free path from MySQL.

MariaDB and MySQL share a common origin, but today they serve vastly different futures. While MySQL remains a reliable transactional database, MariaDB has evolved into a complete enterprise data platform—integrating advanced analytics, AI-driven search, real-time scalability, and deep Oracle compatibility.

Why leading enterprises are migrating from MySQL to MariaDB:

• Oracle Database Compatibility: Lift and shift Oracle tables, packages, and PL/SQL procedures with minimal rewrites. 
• Built-in AI & Advanced Analytics: Vector search for RAG applications, ColumnStore for petabyte-scale analytics, and temporal tables for full data historization—all within a single platform.
• Superior Performance & Scale: Transparent sharding, parallel query execution, and Redis-powered query caching deliver linear scalability beyond MySQL’s limits.
• True High Availability: Automatic failover, multi-master clustering, and session recovery ensure continuous uptime.
• Seamless Migration: MariaDB maintains full MySQL protocol compatibility, making migration a low-risk, high-reward transition.
