MariaDB Brings Its Vision to Life at OpenWorks 2023, Making Everyone Unstoppable with MariaDB Cloud and Distributed SQL<\/b><\/p>\n

PostgreSQL and MariaDB\/MySQL communities can tap Xpand scalability and resiliency to boost database performance<\/i><\/p>\n

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–MariaDB OpenWorks 2023 —<\/b>MariaDB plc<\/a> (NYSE:MRDB) today, at its global user conference OpenWorks 2023<\/a>, unveiled its vision to bring the power of distributed SQL through its award-winning Xpand database<\/a> to both the MariaDB\/MySQL and PostgreSQL communities.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur vision is to take databases to new heights of scale and resilience, in any cloud at a fraction of the cost of competitors,\u201d said Michael Howard, CEO at MariaDB plc. \u201cXpand gives us the power to do this in SkySQL and broaden its benefits to new communities such as PostgreSQL. With this, we give the ultimate choice to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The choice is yours
\n
<\/b>Distributed SQL is a new take on relational databases, solving problems organizations have struggled with for decades. Compounded by a world that is more connected than ever before, organizations face growing demand from across the globe. Their challenge is to operate their business continuously while also capturing demand when it surges. Xpand is a distributed SQL database built from the ground up to solve these challenges, making our customers unstoppable.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWhile distributed SQL\u2019s benefits are undeniable, it used to force you to make a database decision,\u201d continued Howard. \u201cIt means you ultimately had to migrate to a distributed SQL database. That didn\u2019t seem right to me. Our next disruptive innovation is about giving options, not forcing a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAt OpenWorks, MariaDB demonstrated how other open source relational databases such as PostgreSQL used with Xpand\u2019s distributed SQL database scales beyond the conventional primary\/replica architecture that hits scalability limits quickly. Benchmarks show PostgreSQL with Xpand scaling to 5x the number of users at twice the throughput compared to PostgreSQL on its own and a popular PostgreSQL cloud option.<\/p>\n

\nA tech preview of PostgreSQL with Xpand will be available in SkySQL, as a fully managed database service in a few weeks. Sign up to be notified when it\u2019s first available: mariad<\/a>b.com\/Xpand4All<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Geospatial: a database and<\/i> API-driven approach
\n
T<\/b>raditional geospatial solutions took a database-centric approach or didn\u2019t adopt open standard APIs, making it very difficult for developers to work with geospatial data. New drones, satellites and sensors means that geospatial or location-based data is growing at unprecedented rates. Storing all this data in databases alone is impossible given the magnitude of the problem and increasing resolution of images. MariaDB Geospatial, based on an acquisition made last year, is a developer-first, API-driven solution that embraces open standard interfaces for web mapping and geospatial queries. It combines vector storage in the database with raster storage in cloud object storage \u2013 an approach that doesn\u2019t force a choice.<\/p>\n

\nMariaDB Geospatial is now available on SkySQL<\/a> as a tech preview.<\/p>\n

Cloud backup: on-prem databases and<\/i> cloud benefits
\n
<\/b>SkySQL automatically backs up the databases it runs as a service, consistent with other cloud databases. Similar to the recent Observability<\/a> news announced recently, MariaDB is extending its cloud backup service to databases running on-prem and in other cloud infrastructure. This gives databases not running in cloud services the ability to benefit from them, with backups that can ultimately also be restored in their cloud of choice for a failsafe disaster recovery strategy.<\/p>\n

\nCloud Backup for remote databases is now available on SkySQL<\/a> as a tech preview.<\/p>\n

\nTo dive more into the details of MariaDB\u2019s announcements, to see demos and hear from customer successes, please join OpenWorks 2023<\/a> virtually, taking place live from New York on May 9-10.<\/p>\n
