MariaDB Cloud – kicking the tires with openflights data

MariaDB plc recently acquired SkySQL and rebranded it MariaDB Cloud that offers serverless MariaDB as a service. Kaj Arnö interviewed the technical father, and now it is time for a practical, technical kick-the-tires look at MariaDB Cloud.

In this tutorial, I’ll show developers how to set up a MariaDB Cloud database and load sample data in under 10 minutes. Perfect for showcasing simple SQL commands and MariaDB features with our public data set openflights – which incidentally is what one of the tracks in our ongoing hackathon is about.
