New Features

Multiple MariaDB Server versions on Serverless

A Serverless database can now be created on any MariaDB Server version that MariaDB Cloud offers for provisioned single-node databases. Previously, a Serverless database could only be created on the current default version.

Choose the version with the MariaDB Version picker when you launch the database.

Availability and behavior:

• Default version — MariaDB Cloud keeps pre-provisioned instances on the default version, so a database created on it is ready in milliseconds. The picker preselects this version.

• Any other available version — the database is built on demand when you create it, so it takes longer to launch than the instant start. In every other respect it is a Serverless database: it scales to zero when idle, resumes on connection, and is billed by MCU-hour.

• Selecting a version other than the default requires a paid plan. On a trial with no payment method on file — including the Free Developer Tier database — the version picker offers the default version only.

• MariaDB Community Server versions are available on all service tiers. MariaDB Enterprise Server versions are available on the Power and PowerPlus tiers, in addition to the default Community version.
