Overview

What is MariaDB?

MariaDB Server is an open-source relational database management system, created by the original developers of MySQL to ensure a truly free and community-driven project. Designed as a compatible 'drop-in' replacement for MySQL, it allows most applications to migrate without modification.

MariaDB stands out for its multiple storage engines (InnoDB, but also Aria, ColumnStore for analytics, or Spider for distributed partitioning), its performance optimizations, advanced replication and clustering features (Galera Cluster), as well as its temporal tables. The project is led by the MariaDB Foundation, which ensures its openness, transparency, and longevity.

Fast, reliable, and actively maintained, MariaDB is suitable for web applications, transactional systems, and analytical workloads. It appeals to organizations seeking a free database, without dependency on a proprietary vendor, and benefiting from a roadmap governed by an open community.

FAQ

You might be wondering…

Is MariaDB really compatible with MySQL?

Yes, in the vast majority of cases. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL designed as a transparent substitute (drop-in): most applications (CMS, frameworks) work without modification. DINAO advises you in case of specific features.

Why choose MariaDB over MySQL?

MariaDB is 100 % open-source (GPL), led by an independent community, and offers additional engines and features (Galera, Aria). It is the choice of software freedom without sacrificing compatibility.

Where is the data hosted?

On DINAO's French infrastructure, in one of the available data centers. Your data does not leave the territory and remains subject to French and European law.

Are technical skills required?

No for everyday use: a connection string is sufficient for your application. DINAO handles installation, tuning, backups, and security. Your developers retain full SQL access.

How do backups and restoration work?

Daily encrypted backups (via mariabackup) are retained for X days. Restoration is performed upon request, without prolonged service interruption.
