Mariadb is a branch of MySQL, created by the creator of MySQL after the Oracle purchased mysqlab. It has more features and better performance than MySQL community. But can the price be down?

I think MariaDB is better,,,,,,It is a risk to use the Oracle's product

Amazing  what a gift!!!

Used it for the last 6 months for our small team.

very good !

MySQL is good, the more people use the better. There is more information, and it will be easier to solve problems.
I also used Postgre for a short time, not bad, but Okay, but the people who use it are much fewer than Mysql.

Recently, MariaDB Foundation announced that Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, has become its platinum sponsor. The sponsorship will help the Foundation in its goals to ensure continuity and open collaboration in the MariaDB ecosystem, and to drive
adoption, serving an ever growing community of users and developers.
The MariaDB foundation aims to provide infrastructure support for the MariaDB project, the user and the developer community, and
exchange database technology. Currently, the foundation has three levels of sponsorship members which are platinum, gold and bronze.
Most of the sponsors are from the MariaDB project contributors or widely used enterprises.
Alibaba Cloud has already sponsored a developer for the MariaDB Foundation, Lixun Peng, who specializes in replication and will focus on
enhancing the replication features in the MariaDB database server, and support the merging of AliSQL (Alibaba’s open source MySQL branch) patches into MariaDB.
Alibaba Cloud is the Foundation’s second platinum sponsor after Booking.com.

In my experience MariaDB has been good for "general purpose" DB tasks (web back end for inventory, keeping track of a modest number of items, etc). However recently I've been working on some specific applications which require a small in-RAM embedded database such as SQLite. I think both are fine for their purpose but as an application developer I have to use to most appropriate tool for the job.

Actually, Most of Linux Distribution use MariaDB instead of MySQL,Because Oracle seems don't want to update MySQL Community
MariaDB has developed some interesting prototype features than MySQL.

I have used MariaDB, I think he is good, Maria storage engine, PBXT storage engine, XtraDB storage engine, very good, hope to improve the appearance, I think it is best to use MySQL, because it is strong and stable, but there is no loopholes, this is my personal opinion, hope to adopt.

okay
