MaxScale Overview: Functionality and a Renewed Approach to GPL Licensing

Abstract

MaxScale is MariaDB plc’s database proxy that enhances the high availability and scalability of MariaDB Server while simplifying application development by decoupling it from the underlying database infrastructure. This presentation provides a brief introduction to MaxScale and explores the refreshed licensing model. Previously, when MaxScale transitioned from BSL to GPL, it was no longer actively maintained. Now, the GPL version of MaxScale receives full support and ongoing maintenance.
