State of MariaDB
summary
MariaDB claims growth — half a year ago it surpasses MySQL in popularity — with about 2.5 billion Docker image downloads, a four‑release‑per‑year cadence and a biennial long‑term release (current stable 10.6, LTS planned 10.10). Practical additions include an S3 storage engine for read‑only backup tables, JSON_TABLE, OFFSET ... WITH TIES, atomic DDL crash‑safe guarantees (extensive fault injections found and fixed bugs), systemd socket activation (server starts in ~2 seconds), lag‑free ALTER TABLE replication and four new optimizer cost variables.
