Launching MariaDB’s Database Survey 2026

We want to know how you’re really using MariaDB — and databases in general. Not the marketing version or the one-off case study. The real story: what you’re building, how you are using it, what’s working, and what’s frustrating.

Last year we ran the first State of MariaDB survey. 275 of you took part, and the results became a public report linked from mariadb.org/survey. Now we’re back with the 2026 edition — the second annual survey — fresh questions, tailored to five different roles, open to non-MariaDB users too, and built to help MariaDB grow.
