Show Notes

In this episode, we speak with Rob Hedgpeth, a  director of developer developer relations at Maria DB.  We explore all things Maria DB, the capabilities it has and when you should consider it for your next project. 

Top 3 value bombs:

  • MariaDB follows a shared nothing architecture and supports distributed SQL for unlimited scaling on demand.
  • MariaDB can handle many types of storage (i.e. document store, graph and spatial)
  • When deciding on your next relational database do not just look at options available within your cloud service provider, include Databases as a Service within your analysis (i.e. Sky SQL - Maris DB’s commercial product).
