A Powerful Open Source Database That Supports Many Storage Needs (MariaDB)

Building the Backend: Data Solutions that Power Leading Organizations

In this episode, we speak with Rob Hedgpeth, a director of developer developer relations at Maria DB. We explore all things Maria DB, the capabilities it has and when you should consider it for your next project.
Top 3 value bombs:

• MariaDB follows a shared nothing architecture and supports distributed SQL for unlimited scaling on demand.
• MariaDB can handle many types of storage (i.e. document store, graph and spatial)
• When deciding on your next relational database do not just look at options available within your cloud service provider, include Databases as a Service within your analysis (i.e. Sky SQL - Maris DB’s commercial product).
