MariaDB Scalability

OussamaAL-CHAMI - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior IT Architect at AFD Technologies

It is a scalable solution. You know, in my project, I haven't come across any product that was highly scalable.

I have used it for a few months, but I didn't extensively test the scalability of the database. In France, it's not commonly used as a scalable database. In any case, it is one of the databases available, and it can be used with high availability solutions.

I would rate MariaDB's scalability at nine out of ten. We currently have 50 plus people using this solution including middle level software developers and data engineers.

The scalability improves if you use the distributed database. In our case, the performance has been good enough for the applications we use. We haven't had any performance issues to warrant improving it beyond one node. We moved the storage to SSD, so the performance is good from a basic setup.

I would rate the scalability as eight out of ten. It's a little bit complex.

MariaDB is quite easy to maintain. It's scalable and maintainable. Since it's Knox, directly or indirectly, around 40,000 people would be using it.

MariaDB is scalable, but it could improve horizontal scaling.

We have approximately 150 end users using this solution in the organization.'

We have 10 applications lined up to add to the solution, and we plan on increasing usage.

I rate the scalability of MariaDB a three out of five.

The product has scalability features, but I haven't reached the level where I have to use them. If you know where to change the tool's configurations, it can scale up.

If you want to scale it for larger use cases, like sharding, you'd need to consider MariaDB SkySQL or Xpand, which is a separate product designed for cloud deployments. So, for realistic scalability, especially in the cloud, you might need to use MariaDB SkySQL.

We have a couple of hundred users currently working with the database. It's probably around 400.

In my company, the instance related to MariaDB is fairly small, so I can't comment much on its scalability.

For MariaDB, my company has only one customer who uses it for a single instance, which is about 20 GB of data at the moment.

I’m not sure if it is scalable. Scalability doesn’t affect me as I am only using one application. I don’t require any scaling capabilities.

Indirectly through the help desk solution, the whole company has about 60 plus users on this product.

This solution is scalable.

It is not suitable for mission-critical applications, but it is stable for other applications.

MariaDB is mainly a back-end application, so anyone using our service also uses the database. For example, if you use my monitoring service, which is used to monitor devices and appliances, then you'll be using the database. So, I'm not sure if that counts, but it's being extensively used in our company, and it's very helpful.

We plan to increase our usage of MariaDB in the future.

I've never really dealt with the scalability aspect of the solution. I'm not sure how it would handle the process. I've only tried the DR side, in order to have primary and standby.

The solution’s scalability is terrible. We need an office admin for the maintenance. We have around eighty to a hundred users using this solution.

MariaDB works with just a little configuration for a small dataset, but it does not scale as well as Oracle of Microsoft SQL Server in our applications. For example, additional manual configuration or tweaks are needed so that a query will return in a reasonable time when there is a high volume of records.

Our client has between 10 and 30 concurrent users.

Owner at TRS

It is scalable. We are a regional research and education network. MariaDB is a part of the tools that we have deployed to provide services for such institutions. Three other national research and education institutes are also using it, and all of these institutions have many campus users. So, a large number of users are using it, but they don't even know that it is MariaDB because they are just using the tool or the application that has MariaDB as backend. We do plan to increase its usage in the future.
