Our mission
To give every enterprise one real-time data platform they can trust – for everything they run today and everything they build next.
The problem we solve
Why we built it
Every AI agent in production is betting that the data in front of it is true. In most enterprises, that data is spread across operational databases, a warehouse, vector stores and caches, each one bolted on to solve a single workload. Every system you add creates another seam, and seams break.
Agents raise the stakes. A single agent fires high volumes of small queries and needs live operational and analytical data at once. Fragmented systems can’t serve that without moving data first, which adds delay agents can’t afford and load the stack can’t carry at scale.
MariaDB unifies it all.
One foundation, every workload, at real-time speed.
Instead of a separate vector database, caching layer, analytics engine and RAG pipeline, each with its own vendor and contract, MariaDB runs it all on one platform. Fewer seams, nothing to stitch together, and one team accountable for every piece.

Where we started
Built on a foundation enterprises already trust
MariaDB started as a commitment to keeping a widely used open source database genuinely open, a mission we still protect. It grew into the transactional core that businesses trust with their most sensitive, mission-critical data.
That’s our advantage. We extend outward from this proven transactional core. Analytics, vector search, caching and every workload we add next inherit the same guarantees transactional systems have always required.

Who runs on it

Customers trust their business to MariaDB






Who it's for
Different industries.
Same requirement.
A database that doesn’t go down and data that stays exactly where it’s supposed to be.
DBS, Southeast Asia’s largest bank, replaced a proprietary database with MariaDB to run core banking operations that process nearly 3 million transactions a month.
Virgin Media O2 runs MariaDB across a network serving more than 130 million connected users, and cut query latency from 7 ms to 1 ms in the process.
Those are just two examples. Add up every customer running their business on MariaDB, and the picture gets a lot bigger.
MariaDB is trusted by thousands of enterprises and millions of developers worldwide.
