Arbaudie.IT becomes silver sponsor of MariaDB Foundation
We are pleased to welcome Sylvain Arbaudie as a sponsor of the MariaDB Foundation.
Sylvain Arbaudie is an independent consultant with extensive experience helping organisations design reliable, scalable data infrastructures. Having worked primarily with commercial systems early in his career, Sylvain has witnessed how open source has matured into a powerful foundation for innovation, technological sovereignty, and long-term freedom—often surpassing proprietary alternatives in robustness and adaptability.
Among relational databases he has followed—MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB—Sylvain sees MariaDB as standing apart through its clarity of design, integrated ecosystem, and enterprise-grade reliability. These qualities make it a strong choice for organisations of all sizes, from individual founders to global enterprises.
By sponsoring the MariaDB Foundation, Sylvain is supporting more than a database. He is contributing to a community-driven project that prioritises openness, collaboration, and continuity in data infrastructure.
We also look forward to hearing Sylvain’s real-world use case stories, particularly his experiences and insights around migrations to MariaDB, and to sharing those learnings with the wider community.
