MariaDB plc develops and supports MariaDB, an open-source relational database used in banking, shopping, communication and entertainment, with workloads ranging from a startup's first application to large enterprise systems. The company says more than 75% of the Fortune 500 are served by its technology, and that the systems it underpins touch billions of people globally. Its staff work on open-source relational databases, transaction processing (OLTP), real-time analytics, AI-powered applications, vector search and multicloud managed database services, across a global footprint.
The product line has three parts. MariaDB Community Server is the open-source relational database at the core of the project. MariaDB Enterprise Platform adds advanced features and support for organisations. MariaDB Cloud is a fully managed multicloud database service that removes the need for customers to run their own infrastructure.
MariaDB plc was founded by the original developers of MySQL. The company describes its mission as keeping database technology genuinely open and innovative, and its product development is oriented towards developers. Engineering and technical roles typically engage with open-source codebases, database internals and cloud service operations.
