SkySQL
The ultimate MariaDB cloud
SkySQL is the first and only database-as-a-service (DBaaS) to bring the full power of MariaDB Platform to the cloud, combining powerful enterprise features and world-class support with unrivaled ease of use and groundbreaking innovation. Built for mission-critical applications and enterprise governance, SkySQL augments automation with the human expertise and experience needed to support and manage mission-critical deployments in the cloud – whether it’s a single development database or thousands of production databases.
What’s new
SkySQL is now the first and only DBaaS capable of deploying MariaDB as a distributed SQL database for scalable transaction processing, a multi-master cluster for continuous availability or a multi-node columnar database for data warehousing and analytics requiring high availability and/or scalability.
Distributed SQL processing
The Xpand smart engine is an easy, elastic scale-out solution for MariaDB in the cloud, providing it with distributed storage and transactions.
Multi-master clustering
MariaDB Enterprise Cluster provides SkySQL with the same multi-master solution customers use to ensure continuous availability on premises.
Multi-node data warehousing
MariaDB ColumnStore can now run on multiple database instances, and benefit from massively parallel processing and automatic failover.
One service, any workload
SkySQL provides customers with a single solution for all of their database needs, removing the need to use separate database and data warehouse services (e.g., Amazon RDS + Amazon Redshift/Snowflake), and the cost and complexity of doing so – all while providing a new generation of modern applications with fast transactions and real-time analytics.
Transactions
Deploy a cloud database for transaction processing with persistent storage, replication, read load balancing and read/write splitting all configured out of the box and ready to go.
Learn moreAnalytics
Deploy a cloud data warehouse for ad hoc, interactive analytics on billions of rows with data stored in a columnar format on low-cost object storage and massively parallel processing.
Learn moreBoth
Deploy a cloud database for smart transaction processing, adding real-time analytical queries to transactions, with row data stored on persistent SSDs and columnar on object storage.
Learn moreAny workload, any scale
SkySQL is the only DBaaS capable of deploying MariaDB Platform as a distributed SQL database for scalable, high-performance transaction processing or as a multi-node columnar database for data warehousing and ad hoc analytics. SkySQL makes it easy to start small and scale when needed, as much as needed – whether it’s the result of continued business growth or an exponential surge (e.g., successful Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotions).
Distributed SQL
Deploy distributed SQL databases to scale out on demand, adding or removing as many database instances as needed to perfectly match the requirements of applications with growing or dynamic workloads.
Parallel query
Deploy data warehouses running on multiple database instances for high availability and scalability, with analytical queries using multiple cores on multiple servers to maximize performance on massive data sets.
The cloud, your way
SkySQL is built on a state-of-the-art, cloud-agnostic foundation in order to provide customers with a future-proof database platform and the freedom to pursue a cloud strategy that best meets their needs, whether it’s hybrid or multi-cloud, a conflict of interest with Amazon or the desire to maintain choice and pursue lower costs.
MariaDB Platform
SkySQL is the first DBaaS to support hybrid transactional/analytical processing and mission-critical workloads with MariaDB Enterprise Server, MariaDB ColumnStore and MariaDB MaxScale.
Kubernetes
SkySQL is the first DBaaS to run MariaDB Platform on Kubernetes, laying a foundation for multi-cloud deployments and enabling features such as regional clustering and self-healing.
ServiceNow
SkySQL is the first DBaaS to harness the inventory and workflow management capabilities of ServiceNow to create a portal for consolidated database administration – ITSM for DBaaS.
Maximum protection
SkySQL was built from the ground up to protect customer databases running on public cloud infrastructure, going above and beyond standard security measures to eliminate potential vulnerabilities, minimize the attack surface and enforce strict access protocols. In doing so, SkySQL created a reference cloud security architecture based on compartmentalization, isolation and indirect access. There is no safer place for a cloud database than SkySQL.
Mission-critical for all
SkySQL makes it easy for anyone and everyone to deploy production databases for mission-critical applications running in the cloud. It is the first and only DBaaS to bring all of the enterprise features and capabilities of MariaDB Platform to the cloud – the same features on-premises customers rely on for greater reliability, availability and scalability.
From the source
SkySQL customers running in the cloud get the same world-class support and peace of mind as those running on premises – the same support the largest enterprises in the world turn to, and trust, to keep their businesses running when facing demanding challenges and critical issues, and to help guide their long-term database strategies.
Always up to date
SkySQL puts an end to worries about missing bug fixes and security patches, ensuring customers never get caught off guard by bugs and limitations resolved in previous releases. It is the first and only DBaaS to always offer the latest stable version of MariaDB Enterprise Server, never forcing anyone to run on a community version released years ago again.
Get started
It’s easy to get started with SkySQL, and it doesn’t cost a thing. Sign up for SkySQL today and get a $500 credit toward up to three databases of any size and any type (transactional, analytical or both).
