Make the switch
RDS to MariaDB
Rest easy knowing your database is in the hands of the people who built it. Support modern workloads with a database that is inherently resilient, performant, and reliable — without the operational overhead RDS puts on your team.
Why MariaDB Cloud
Fix the four problems RDS can’t
MariaDB Cloud runs in your existing AWS environment — same infrastructure, radically better database behavior.
Stability
Escape the EOL treadmill
Stop fighting 3-year EOL cycles. MariaDB’s up to 8-year enterprise lifecycle means you set your own upgrade schedule — and spend your time shipping features, not firefighting forced migrations.
Performance
No more single-primary bottlenecks
Every node is active. Scale both reads and writes across the cluster simultaneously — no stale replica lag, no primary bottleneck at peak traffic.
Resilience
Failover your app doesn’t notice
Every node is active. Scale both reads and writes across the cluster simultaneously — no stale replica lag, no primary bottleneck at peak traffic.
Scale
Compute that actually autoscales
RDS autoscales storage. MariaDB autoscales CPU and RAM dynamically — handle traffic spikes without pre-provisioning headroom or dropping connections under load.
Compare
What the architecture actually looks like
Same AWS environment. Very different behavior under pressure.
One platform
Your complete database operations layer
From first deploy to global scale — without stitching together half a dozen AWS services.
