Launching the State of MariaDB 2025 survey

State of MariaDB 2025

We want to know how you’re really using MariaDB. Not the marketing version. Not the idealized case study. The real story—what you’re building, what tools you’re using, what’s working, and what’s frustrating.

So we built a survey. Take the survey now, or read on.

Why This Matters

Your responses will help shape:

  • ⁠MariaDB roadmap priorities
  • ⁠⁠Documentation and tutorials
  • ⁠⁠⁠⁠Tooling development
  • ⁠⁠⁠A public report on how MariaDB is actually being used in 2025

After running pilots, we’re genuinely excited about the insights we are uncovering. Now we need your help to get the full picture.

Who Should Take This?

Anyone who works with MariaDB—developers, DBAs, students, consultants, architects. Whether you’ve been using it for years or just getting started, your experience matters.

What We’re Asking

  • Your background and MariaDB experience
  • ⁠⁠⁠How you use and deploy MariaDB
  • ⁠⁠⁠Your tech stack and tools
  • ⁠⁠⁠Challenges and pain points
  • ⁠⁠⁠Use cases and why you chose MariaDB

Time: 5-10 minutes
Privacy: Completely anonymous
Results: Published as a public report after the survey closes
