MariaDB announced a collaboration with Amazon Web Services to bring MariaDB SkySQL to the cloud, ensuring massive scalability and availability for businesses deploying high-performance database-as-a-service on AWS. The collaboration enables deeper product integration and a go-to-market relationship that better serves joint MariaDB and AWS customers, and those enterprises ready to execute cloud modernization strategies.

Combined with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service/AWS Fargate and global AWS scale, SkySQL can deploy MariaDB on AWS as a distributed SQL database for scalable transaction processing, as a multi-master cluster for continuous availability, or as a multi-node columnar database for data warehousing and analytics requiring high availability and/or scalability.

"SkySQL is the first and only DBaaS to bring the full power of MariaDB Enterprise to AWS, combining powerful enterprise features and world-class support from the source with massive scalability, high availability, and predictable, affordable pricing," explained Kevin Farley, director of strategic alliances, MariaDB Corporation.

According to Josh Millstein, Movista's VP of platform engineering, the company's switch to the enterprise version of MariaDB running on AWS provided significant advantages.

"We are thrilled to see MariaDB SkySQL launch on AWS," said Adrian De Luca, head of partner solution architecture, AWS SaaS Factory.

"Working closely with our team at SaaS Factory, the AWS Partner Network, and AWS Marketplace, MariaDB was able to design and implement an easy-to-use and comprehensive database-as-a-service on AWS within a few months. We're proud to see MariaDB reach this incredible milestone."
