MariaDB Cloud

RDS

Failover

Transparent HA: always-active replicas.
Sub-second recovery.
App sees no interruption.

DNS TTL-based.
60–120s recovery window.
App must handle reconnection logic.

Scaling

Dynamic compute: CPU and RAM scale on-demand.
No resize, no downtime, no dropped connections.

Autoscales storage only. CPU/RAM require instance resize — causes downtime.

Replication

Active-active clustering: every node handles reads and writes. Zero lag. Linear write throughput as you scale.

Single-primary with read replicas. Write bottleneck at primary. Replica lag under load.

Version lifecycle

8-year enterprise lifecycle.

Hardened enterprise binaries. Direct access to the engineers who wrote the code.

3-year EOL.

Forced major version upgrades with community binaries — tested in production by you.
