MariaDB MeetUp: Susquehanna
May 19, 2026, 17:30-20:30
MariaDB has evolved far beyond a traditional database.
It is where open innovation happens, continuously pushing new capabilities into the core engine, from semi-structured data and replication to AI and vector search built directly into the platform.
This event is about how that innovation is being applied in the real world:
- Moving away from expensive, restrictive database platforms
- Building high-performance, modern architectures
- Taking workloads from community experimentation → enterprise-grade production
