Assistant Professor

The most appealing feature of MariaDB is its open-source license that allows us to use it freely in academia to teach relational database management courses.

The performance lags in many cases especially when deploying on Cloud IaaS platforms. Though theses instances are not arising frequently but we believe that MariaDb can go a long way towards improving and becoming a fierce competitor to the big names in the RDBMs arena today.

Senior Quality Assurance Manager

It is very fast, it provides many functions for data manipulation and if installed in good hardware it can take a huge load.

Maybe we could talk about cluster performance and advanced functions for usage in the cloud, but still it covers 90% of use cases out there.

Co-Founder

I appreciate that I can export my complete database to MariaDB; it's a little tricky at first, but after you get the hang of it, you'll be able to do a better job the next time you use it.

Software Engineer Manager

DB management and performance are excellent, 90% of the work is done by the correct design of the data structure.

Technical Lead

I mostly like pulling and storing data using standard SQL queries.

Almost any database needs are covered by mariadb (formerly mysql) open source dbms.

Senior Software Engineer

I have used MariaDB in several projects in place of MySQL. Where I needed better performance.

Web developer

As a Peruvian developer I have used this database manager a lot, not only in software but also in virtual stores, storage of large amounts of information and I have never had problems with this manager

Freelancer - Web Developer

Its features, functionality, table management, edit are really good and comfortable to use, even it works fast and quickly when a command has been made.

Senior Software Engineer 

For years now, many hosts have offered MariaDB as RDBMS.

Intern

It is easy to work with database also the best for using to someone who is very familiar to using databases.

Software Developer 

It is very much faster than MySQL, It can aslo be used to build web application for the clients.

Network Manager

With MariaDB I was able to get transactions above 52,000/sec between selects and filters.

I know some developers and clients like MariaDB more than MySQL because MariaDB has an extra smoothness that makes the work more perfect.

Real-time statistics with 3rd party tools allow you to see the correct operation.

Overall I am happy to use MariaDB as an RDBMS.

Server administrator

to insure Oracle is not going to kill MySQL in favor of it's proprietary database software.

MariaDB is a reliable database management system, open source and backed up by a huge community of users and developers.

Mid Programmer

Brewer

I use it for a gaming server where we have tables for items, characters, etc.

Network Admin

What we needed could be duplicated in other ways, but to get it "built in" was not worth it.

I can remember just one negative side with MariaDB that is migration related.

It wasn't a good experience when I tried to migrate data for the first time.

IT support Specialist 

Easy to use if you have enough knowledge with the SQL queries.

Software Developer

I have been using in my dev, test and prod sites and never really had any issues other than obvious identified bugs.

DevOps Engineer

MariaDB is easy to set up and use, but I worry that its community support isn't where it needs to be in order to be a top contender against MySQL.

MariaDB is no longer completely compatible with MySQL.

Developer

It is open source, easy to install, great to work with and reliable.

Low latency caching controlling system, the best thing is it supports all model supports like JSON, Graph, and Search, I like JSON, but other things are also added advantages.

This is highly available since data is stored in multi zone replicas and the feature of instant recovery of data.

Redis is the well know in-memory database and famous framework supports it such as spring, spring boot ..etc.

software engineer

we have been using it to manage user sessions in our web site

I see the complexity as a drawback of redis enterprise and users need prior knowledge of how to use it.

I use it every day to store very frequently use data.

by having all data in memory it can became expensive to maintain.

I have used Redis in several projects, as a database and as a cache.

Software Architect 

You can plug on the service to your existing workflows to cache responses and respond faster as your demands grow.

In the early days of development the lowest tier is sufficient but as we scale the increase in tier was necessary for the types of support we needed

Software Technical Lead

Redis allows you to deploy an extremely fast production-grade clustered in-memory datastore that can be used as a cache layer or for any other fast data access needs.

Redis Enterprise provides a managed solution which is deployed on memory-optimized instances for the best performance. Since this is an enterprise solution, the support provided for a given cluster is exemplary.

Business Analyst

I like most the structure and the performances obtained during this product utilization.

It have good CLI which allows easy administration.

I like the different tier of support offered for redis.

Analista de Sistemas

I liked the simplicity of creating and retrieving keys and the integrations available with different programming languages
