Ensuring continuity and open collaboration in the MariaDB ecosystem

MariaDB's external contributors alone now outnumber ALL MySQL contributors combined.

Google Summer of Code submissions are over, and MariaDB Server development is back to “business as usual.”

But the new normal looks strong:

Pull requests are still coming in at about double last year’s rate, while average PR processing time has reached a new record low: 21 days.

Huge thanks to all reviewers, especially MariaDB plc engineers, for keeping contributions moving.

dbdeployer is BACK from the dead, and it’s even better with the ProxySQL team at the wheel

No more crying in the server room trying to spin up test instances manually.
This is great for every dev and DBA who lives in MariaDB/MySQL land.

Thank you @lefred & @mariadb_org the sharing great news! https://t.co/vRKKMFWj0o

A third database "adventure" begins for me, and a truly open-source one. First Microsoft SQL Server, then MongoDB, and now MariaDB.

Appreciate the warm welcome from Anna Widenius and the MariaDB Foundation board plus the intro from Serg Bell at the Constructor Group.

PostgreSQL vacuuming is often described as a background task. In production, it is a real operational cost: resources, tuning, and ongoing maintenance.

A practical look at what vacuuming really costs — and why transaction-time cleanup avoids an entire class of overhead.

Monty on forking, from first principles.

In this post, Monty Widenius explains how forks actually evolve over time, why some remain close to their upstream while others drift away, and what that means for users running MySQL/MariaDB-compatible systems long term.

#PostgreSQL and #MariaDB are often framed as rivals, but the reality is more nuanced. Open source ecosystems grow stronger when we understand each other’s strengths instead of pretending the world is binary.
At MariaDB Day Brussels, we’re making space for an open, technical conversation about where PostgreSQL fits, how people actually choose between the two, and which trade-offs matter in practice.
And of course, we couldn’t do this without the perspective of @PeterZaitsev , sharing his take on what lessons the MariaDB community can learn from PostgreSQL’s success.

In 2026, the key question won’t be whether data systems still work, but whether they still make sense. This blog explores how the data landscape is shifting — and what that means for long-term infrastructure choices.
