Better and faster together
SkySQL is the first and only database-as-a-service (DBaaS) to bring the full power of MariaDB Enterprise Server for transactions processing, Xpand for distributed SQL and ColumnStore or Serverless Analytics powered by Apache Spark SQL for analytical processing to the cloud, combining open source innovation, powerful enterprise features and world-class support with unrivaled ease of use on the Amazon Web Services platform.
SkySQL can deploy databases and 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, or with multi-primary, full read and write replicas in distributed SQL clusters.
Deploy MariaDB Enterprise Server as a data warehouse optimized for scalable, interactive analytics using a columnar format and S3 object storage or serverless analytics powered by Apache SparkSQL nodes on Amazon EKS.
Deploy MariaDB Enterprise Server as a hybrid database optimized for smart transactions using InnoDB storage engine with EBS and ColumnStore storage engine with S3 for row and columnar data, respectively.
SkySQL can deploy Xpand distributed SQL database 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 cloud database services continue to fall short of.
SkySQL makes it easy for everyone to run production databases in the cloud, and is the only data service on AWS with the improved reliability, stability and security of MariaDB Enterprise Server, Xpand and ColumnStore.
SkySQL customers get the same world-class support and peace of mind as enterprises running on premises, including technical support, enterprise architects to support migrations and full or partial 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 EKS for orchestration, high performance SSD-backed Amazon EBS for durability, and 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).
