Procrastination: we all do it. But when you’re facing a dead end like the October 2023 EOL for MySQL 5.7 and the roadmap leads you to proprietary lock-in with Oracle HeatWave, maybe it’s time to plot a different course before the costs become too high.

Watch this webinar to hear from two MariaDB systems engineering experts who have helped countless people in your position rapidly and easily make the shift to MariaDB – an open source SQL database forked from MySQL. MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL that is fully committed to remaining open source, giving you the freedom to run your databases anywhere.

In this webinar you’ll hear from MariaDB senior engineering managers Kathryn Sizemore and Kyle Hutchinson on what it takes to make the switch from MySQL 5.7 to MariaDB. After attending this webinar you will be able to:

• Prepare for migration, including prerequisite backups and installation instructions
• Move partitioned tables from MySQL to MariaDB
• Upgrade active database deployments, including replication
• Understand many additional features and capabilities you’ll access by migrating, including new levels of availability and scalability with MaxScale, MariaDB’s advanced database proxy
