The Ultimate MariaDB Cloud Database Service

MariaDB Cloud (formerly SkySQL) is a fully managed database-as-a-service that gives you the choice of two powerful architectures: provisioned for consistent performance, and serverless for on-demand elastic scale. Built on the full power of MariaDB Server, the platform delivers mission-critical resilience, integrated AI and multicloud freedom right out of the box. We handle the underlying operational complexity so you can focus on what matters most: building your next great application.

Build Smarter, Faster AI Applications MariaDB Cloud simplifies building AI applications by integrating high-performance vector search and developer tooling directly into the database. This unified approach eliminates the complexity and cost of a fragmented data stack.

• **Accelerate AI Development: **Build and deploy AI-powered features in record time. MariaDB Cloud provides agentic AI, including Developer and DBA Copilot agents, to handle tasks from creating natural language interfaces to optimizing performance. This boosts productivity for your entire technical team and accelerates development cycles.
• **Manage with Unified Tooling: **Streamline your entire database workflow with the MariaDB Cloud MCP Server. This centralized interface lets AI agents manage instances, execute SQL queries and automate key administrative tasks from a single interface.
• **Simplify Your AI Data Stack: **MariaDB Server features native vector search that can outperform competitors like Postgres pgvector. By managing vector embeddings alongside your operational data in a single, native system, you eliminate the cost, complexity and latency of a separate vector database. This approach simplifies development and enhances performance.

Built for Mission-Critical MariaDB Cloud is designed to ensure uptime and resilience. It combines an advanced, self-healing architecture with intelligent, automated failover – enabling zero-downtime recovery – to protect your database from small-scale failures and large-scale outages.

• **Automated High Availability: **MariaDB Cloud’s active-active high availability is powered by MariaDB MaxScale, our advanced database proxy. MaxScale automatically handles read-write splitting and read scaling across all active nodes, ensuring your application remains performant and resilient.
• **Self-Healing Architecture: **Built on a resilient, cloud-native foundation that constantly monitors its own health, MariaDB Cloud can automatically detect and recover from many types of failures, such as restarting failed processes or re-provisioning unhealthy nodes.
• **Disaster Recovery: **For the ultimate level of protection, MariaDB Cloud offers disaster recovery options across different geographic regions. This allows your service to survive a large-scale event, up to and including the failure of an entire cloud provider region.

Serverless for Variable Workloads For applications with spiky or unpredictable traffic, MariaDB Cloud offers a serverless model designed for automatic, on-demand scaling. It is the ideal architecture for production workloads like e-commerce and payment processing, as well as for cost-effective development and testing.

• **Cut Costs for Idle Time: **The platform automatically scales compute down to zero during inactive periods. This pay-for-use model means you are only billed for resources when queries are actually running, drastically reducing costs for your variable workloads.
• **Auto-Scale for Peak Demand: **Handle sudden traffic spikes without ever overprovisioning. The architecture instantly provides resources to meet peak demand and releases them just as quickly, ensuring a fast and responsive user experience at all times.
• **Powered by MariaDB Server: **Our serverless option is built on the standard, unmodified MariaDB Server. This means you don’t have to compromise on power, features or reliability to gain the efficiency of serverless. You get the same trusted, production-grade database in a more elastic package.

Engineered for Peak Performance Great application performance starts with a database that delivers both raw speed and the ability to scale under load. MariaDB Cloud is engineered to provide both, with the high throughput and elastic scalability needed to power demanding services.

• **Power for Heavy Workloads: **MariaDB Cloud is built to deliver the high throughput and low latency required for intensive transactional workloads and real-time analytics, ensuring a consistently fast and responsive experience for your users.
• **Elastic Scalability: **From a single instance to a multi-node distributed cluster, MariaDB Cloud is designed to scale seamlessly with your business. Effortlessly add read replicas or scale up compute to handle growth without needing to re-architect your application.
• **Real-Time Insights: **MariaDB Cloud includes intuitive observability tools – with real-time monitoring, customizable dashboards and intelligent alerts – to help you proactively manage and optimize performance with ease.
