SkySQL is the first and only database-as-a-service (DBaaS) to bring the full power of MariaDB Enterprise 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.
SkySQL can deploy databases or data warehouses optimized for fast transactions, interactive analytics or smart transactions, standard transactions enriched with real-time analytical queries.
Deploy databases optimized for fast transaction processing using high-performance block storage (persistent SSDs) and multiple read replicas.
Deploy MariaDB Enterprise Server as a data warehouse optimized for scalable, interactive analytics using a columnar format and cloud object storage.
Deploy MariaDB Enterprise Server as a hybrid database optimized for smart transactions using block and object storage for row and columnar data.
SkySQL can deploy MariaDB Enterprise Server as a distributed SQL database with Xpand technology in order to support applications requiring elasticity, read/write scalability and zero downtime – and without sacrificing ACID transactions and strong consistency or ANSI SQL and standard database drivers (e.g., JDBC/ODBC).
SkySQL was built to exceed the high standards of MariaDB, and to meet both the technical and the business needs of enterprises running in the cloud – something other database services continue to fall short of.
SkySQL makes it easy for everyone to run production databases in the cloud, and is the only DBaaS with the improved reliability, stability and security of MariaDB Enterprise Server.
SkySQL customers get the same world-class support and peace of mind as enterprises running on premises, including technical support and/or full database administration by a SkyDBA.
SkySQL always allows customers to run on the latest stable version and maintenance release so they never run into missing features or old bugs and vulnerabilities long since resolved.
SkySQL takes full advantage of the infrastructure and services provided by AWS to provide customers with the best security, high availability, and performance available in the cloud, leveraging Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) for orchestration, high performance SSD-backed Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for durability, and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for recovery and analytics.
SkySQL has the self-service features and automation you expect from a DBaaS, from deploying a replicated database across multiple zones with the click of a button and real-time monitoring powered by Prometheus and Grafana. However, SkySQL goes even further with features like columnar tables, self-repair and transparent query routing.
Deploy a database for fast transactions, a data warehouse for interactive analytics or a hybrid – a database with both row and columnar storage for customer-facing applications requiring analytics.
SkySQL uses MariaDB MaxScale and Kubernetes to automatically recover from cloud instance and zone failures, deploying replicas across multiple zones and taking backups every night.
Developers don’t have to create multiple connections and implement read/write splitting or load balancing, SkySQL does it automatically for them using MariaDB MaxScale.
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 hybrid).
