Comparison
MariaDB vs. the Competition
See how MariaDB stacks up against Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Amazon RDS on cost, capability and freedom to run anywhere, and what you gain by switching.

MariaDB vs. Oracle
The Oracle features your apps depend on, like clustering, readable standbys, encryption and PL/SQL compatibility, come in one MariaDB subscription rather than as separately priced options.
MariaDB vs. MySQL
Easily upgrade to MariaDB and enjoy enhanced performance, advanced features and the benefits of a thriving open source community, all while minimizing compatibility issues.
MariaDB vs. Amazon RDS
Stay on AWS and keep your discounts. Get MariaDB Enterprise with active-active nodes, sub-second failover and compute that autoscales, none of which RDS offers.
MariaDB vs. PostgreSQL
Both are proven open source databases. MariaDB ships high availability, clustering, analytics and vector search as one supported platform instead of a stack of add-ons.
