Dagster integration for MariaDB – 2nd place in MariaDB BangPypers Hackathon 2025

We recently announced the winners of the MariaDB Hackathon at the BangPypers meetup in Bengaluru. We are now interviewing the winner submissions, continuing with the Integration track second place winner.

We sat down with Ria Kulkarni and Revanth Sreeram Ambati who developed a Dagster integration for MariaDB, bringing modern data orchestration capabilities to the MariaDB ecosystem. They were interviewed by Robert Silén, Community Advocate and Kaj Arnö, Executive Chairman of MariaDB Foundation.

For the recorded interview, watch it on Youtube, or read the summary below. 

First, let us repeat a short introduction on the topic of data orchestration that we also shared in the interview with the Airflow Integration track winner. 

BangPypers x MariaDB Python Hackathon – Winners Announced!

Last Saturday marked an exciting milestone: the announcement of the winners in our first large-scale MariaDB Python Hackathon, organised in collaboration with BangPypers, HackerEarth, and MariaDB plc. Over the past months, developers from across India have explored new ways to make MariaDB easier to use, more connected, and better integrated into today’s most important open-source ecosystems.

This post celebrates the outstanding contributions in both the Integration Track — projects that help MariaDB work seamlessly with other tools and frameworks – and the Innovation Track – projects that showcase existing MariaDB features and make it easy to learn, copy, and adapt.
