Datasheet
One database.
Endless possibilities.
One platform for transactional, analytical and AI workloads, built for apps and agents. Self-managed, on Kubernetes, or fully managed in the cloud.
One unified platform
Transactional, analytical, JSON and vector data together, so you don’t need a stack of specialized databases.
Built for agents
AI Retrieval (public preview) on live data, Agent Memory, and Developer and DBA Agents. No separate vector database to bolt on.
MySQL & Oracle compatible
Keep your skills, tools and apps. A migration toolkit flags anything that won’t move cleanly before you start.
Open & supported
An open source foundation, enterprise-hardened, with 24×7 support and up to 8 years of long-term releases.

01What's inside the platform
Multimodel database engines
A hardened, production-grade Enterprise Server for row, JSON, vector and columnar data in one engine. MariaDB Exa runs analytics on live transactional data with no warehouse or ETL.
Distributed caching
An in-memory layer delivers sub-millisecond reads at millions of TPS. Semantic cache reuses answers to similar prompts, and MaxScale shares one query cache across the cluster.
Intelligent proxy & scaling
MaxScale routes queries, pools connections and handles failover. Enterprise Cluster (Galera) and the new Raft Cluster keep data consistent across nodes and regions, with conflict resolution for activeactive setup.
Agentic AI
AI Retrieval turns questions into read-only SQL on live data. Agent Memory keeps context across sessions, and Developer and DBA Agents help build and run it.
Connectors
Application connectors for C/C++, PHP, Python, Node.js, Go, JDBC and ODBC. AI connectors for LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex and Spring AI, plus the MCP Server and plugins for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and OpenCode.
Enterprise-ready and secure
Enterprise Manager watches the whole estate, caching layer included, from one console. The Kubernetes Operator adds multi-site failover and FIPS 140-3. Plus TDE, data masking and role-based access control.
02Why teams choose MariaDB
- One platform, not a patchwork. Transactions, analytics, caching and AI under one set of access rules.
- No lock-in tax. MySQL and Oracle compatibility plus a migration toolkit means no re-training and no rewrites.
- Faster on the same hardware. 60% more throughput than Enterprise Server 11.8 and 25% faster than MySQL 9.7.
- Runs the same anywhere. On-prem, in any cloud, on Kubernetes, serverless or as BYOC in your own cloud account.
Fully managed on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Provisioned, serverless or BYOC inside your own cloud account.
