Abstract

MariaDB Server was first made Generally Available (GA) in 2010, and in the decade since release, it has not only been a mostly drop-in replacement to MySQL, it has also got a lot of features that supersede MySQL.

This talk aims to take you through some of these unique features. However, beyond a checklist of features (which you can find in the excellent documentation), here are practical use cases and ways to use these new features to make either your life as a database administrator (DBA) easier.
