Security News > 2020 > March > MariaDB SkySQL: Deploy production databases for mission-critical applications running in the cloud

MariaDB announced the immediate availability of MariaDB SkySQL, the first database-as-a-service to unlock the full power of MariaDB Platform for transactions, analytics or both, and optimized with a cloud-native architecture.

"Existing services, long in the tooth, lock out community innovation, meaning patches, new versions and features are missing for literally years. MariaDB SkySQL is a next-generation cloud database, built by the world's top database engineers in the industry, allowing organizations large and small to know they have an always-on partner to not only roll out new applications, but ensure a consistent and enduring quality of service."

First generation cloud databases emphasized convenience and price, yet also exposed certain gaps: stunted features that eliminate the ability to lift and shift to the cloud; limited configurations; mission-critical capabilities that are missing; entire industries alienated; and a lack of critical database expertise.

SkySQL is the result of MariaDB's mission to build a new and better cloud database, delivering customer requirements through technology and people.

Designed for multi-cloud and hybrid cloud deployments, SkySQL frees customers to use the cloud infrastructure of their choice rather than be locked into one public cloud vendor's ecosystem.
