MySQL and MariaDB share the same roots, so a migration between them looks simple on paper. It rarely is. The two databases have drifted apart over the years, and that drift is where migrations stall: schema differences that don't surface until load time, configuration settings that don't carry over cleanly, and user privilege structures that break authentication right after cutover.
MariaDB Migrator, now generally available, removes the guesswork. It reads your source environment before touching a single row, tells you exactly what it finds, and runs the migration using the strategy that matches your downtime tolerance. Join Manoj Vakeel and Ben Grieser for a live, end-to-end migration and see how a single YAML file and a conversational AI assistant over MCP can turn a migration into a simple, repeatable process.
What you'll learn:
Surface schema and compatibility issues before migration touches a single row of production data
Match your migration strategy to actual downtime tolerance across four distinct modesMove users, roles, and authentication plugins automatically, without manual post-migration fixups
