MariaDB AI & Cloud Enablement Services
Get from “we have the platform” to “it’s delivering value.”
For teams that already run MariaDB and want to put its AI and cloud capabilities to work, MariaDB Enterprise Platform gives you the building blocks for agentic AI and serverless cloud. Turning them into something that is live, secure and delivering value on your own data still takes time to build, test and roll out safely. MariaDB Professional Services helps your team get there faster.
Why teams call us
Where customers get stuck
Professional Services closes each of these gaps with a scoped, hands-on engagement rather than a generic playbook.
Four places AI and cloud projects stall on the way to production. MariaDB AI & Cloud Enablement Services covers each one.
-
Problem: You want AI on your data, but don’t know which AI use case to start with, or what it will cost
Solution: We shortlist your AI opportunities, with a cost and effort estimate for each
-
Problem: Your team has never configured an MCP Server, RAG pipeline or vector search
Solution: We build and tune it with your team, so they can run and extend it themselves
-
Problem: You’re not sure who, or what, should have access once AI agents are in the mix
Solution: Before anything goes live, we review who and what has access to your data
-
Problem: You want serverless, but need to know if it will save money for your traffic pattern
Solution: We model your serverless spend against what you’re actually running today
How an engagement works
Three steps from idea to production
We’ve helped organizations plan, build and operationalize database projects for years. We’re now applying that same experience to AI: assessing what to build first, designing the implementation, and getting your team hands-on so they can run it themselves once we’re done.
1
Know what to build
Start with an AI Readiness Workshop if you’re not yet sure what to build, or whether it’s worth building.
2
Build it
We build MCP Server, RAG, vector search, analytics and serverless with your team, and hand over a working system tuned to your data.
3
Run it safely
Before anything goes live, and as your AI use grows, we check who and what can reach your data and where it’s processed.
What’s included
From first workshop to safe rollout
| Capability | What it covers |
|---|---|
| AI Readiness Workshop |
A fixed-scope, short engagement before you commit budget to a build. You’ll get:
The right starting point if you’re not yet sure what to build, or whether it’s worth building. |
| MCP Server Implementation | We design and deploy your MCP Server setup: access rules, read/write permissions and integration with the AI tools your team already uses. The result is an agent that can query your data usefully without becoming a security problem. |
| RAG Solution Build | We build your retrieval-augmented generation application end to end on MariaDB AI RAG, from data preparation through to a working API your application team can call. You get a working system, ready to go past proof of concept. |
| Vector & Hybrid Search Enablement | We implement and tune search for your specific use case, whether that’s semantic search, recommendations or an internal knowledge base, then hand over a configuration tuned to your data instead of the defaults. |
| Analytics Jump-start | We get MariaDB Exa installed and configured for your storage and performance needs. |
| Serverless Migration & Cost Review | We assess which of your workloads suit MariaDB Cloud Serverless, model what it will cost against what you’re actually running today, and manage the move where it makes sense. |
| AI Governance & Compliance Review | Before anything goes live, and as your AI use grows, we review who and what has access to your data, where processing happens, and whether that lines up with your internal policy and regulatory obligations. Available as a one-off review or an ongoing advisory retainer for teams scaling AI across multiple use cases. |

Frequently asked questions
This service applies to both self-managed MariaDB Enterprise Platform and MariaDB Cloud.
Yes. Your DBAs, platform teams and developers work hands-on with us throughout, so they walk away knowing how to run and extend what we’ve built together.
MariaDB Consulting covers architecture, performance, security, migration and upgrades across your MariaDB environment. AI & Cloud Enablement focuses on getting MCP Server, AI RAG, vector search and serverless running in production.
Yes. We integrate your MCP Server with the AI tools your team already uses, and build AI features into the applications your developers are already working on.
