Open Source History MariaDB was created in 2009 by the same people behind MySQL, one of the most popular Open Source relational databases. The founders were inspired to develop MariaDB as an alternative to MySQL, after Oracle acquired MySQL through the Sun Microsystems acquisition. MariaDB has since replaced MySQL in many mission-critical applications and is quickly replacing other legacy relational databases in a wide variety of applications. Today, more than 12 million users in 45 countries trust critical business data to MariaDB.
