“In a world of uncertainty, people want something they can depend on. This is what MariaDB Xpand is all about.

The recognition from the Stevie Awards is a testament to Xpand’s ability to make customers unstoppable in every situation.” 

More than 3,700 nominations were submitted this year for consideration from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry. According to the panel of judges, MariaDB Xpand won gold in the Customer Data Platform category given its faster analytical SQL queries, high performance, and flexibility. 

Over 230 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners. According to one judge, “with the macroeconomic situation, and given that all the companies are trying to save on infrastructure and OpEx costs, another impressive ROI that I found with MariaDB’s product is that the cost incurred to run queries on an average is more than 300% less than CockroachDB. Overall, an impressive feature!”
