Abstract

MariaDB is famous for working well in high-performance environments. But our view of what to call high-performance changes over time. Every year we get faster data transfer speed; more devices connected to the Internet; more users and, as a result, more data.

Challenges, which developers have to solve, are getting harder. This session shows what engineers do to keep the product up to date, focusing on MariaDB improvements that make it different from its predecessor, MySQL.
