MariaDB Cloud: The Foundation for Agentic AI
MariaDB Cloud is a fully managed database-as-a-service built for the era of agentic AI. Deploy a unified data foundation across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud with maximum flexibility—including Bring Your Own Account (BYOA) for Azure. This allows you to deploy directly into your own cloud environment, leveraging existing credits and maintaining total infrastructure control (AWS and GCP support coming soon).
Built for Mission-Critical Applications
Uptime is a requirement, not a feature. Our architecture delivers enterprise-grade high availability and self-healing resilience to ensure your applications never sleep and your data is always protected.
Automated High Availability
Powered by MariaDB MaxScale, we provide active-active HA with intelligent read/write splitting and instant, automated failover.
Self-Healing Infrastructure
Our cloud-native foundation constantly monitors health, automatically detecting and recovering from node or process failures without manual intervention.
Multi-Cloud Disaster Recovery
Survive large-scale regional outages with geographic disaster recovery and data sovereignty options across different cloud providers.
Serverless Scale, Provisioned Power
Stop overprovisioning for “just in case.” Our serverless architecture provides automatic, on-demand scaling that matches your application’s pulse.
Scale to Zero
Cut idle costs by automatically scaling compute to zero during inactive periods—you only pay when queries are actually running.
Auto-Scale for Peak Demand
Handle sudden traffic spikes with sub-second scaling, ensuring a fast and responsive experience without manual tuning.
Powered by MariaDB
Unlike other serverless offerings, this is built on the standard MariaDB Server engine. You get full feature parity and reliability with total elasticity.
Engineered for Peak Performance
Great applications require a database that delivers both raw speed and the ability to scale under heavy load.
High-Throughput Core
MariaDB Enterprise Server 11.8 delivers a 2.5x performance gain over our 10.6 release, ensuring your mission-critical applications run faster and more efficiently than ever.
Elastic Scaling
Effortlessly add read replicas or scale up compute to handle growth without needing to re-architect your application.
Real-Time Observability
Proactively manage and optimize performance with intuitive monitoring, customizable dashboards, and intelligent alerts.
Build Smarter AI Applications Faster
MariaDB Cloud simplifies AI development by integrating high-performance vector search and developer-first tooling directly into your database.
Developer and DBA Copilot Agents
Boost productivity with embedded AI agents that handle everything from Text-to-SQL generation to proactive performance tuning.
Native Vector Performance
Achieve up to 2x higher throughput than Postgres pgvector by managing embeddings alongside operational data in one system.
Agent-Ready with MCP
Use the integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide AI agents with a standardized, secure interface to your data.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about MariaDB Cloud
Serverless is a cloud database model where you get all the power of a database without managing any of the infrastructure. It automatically provides resources on demand, scaling to precisely match your application’s needs.
Key benefits include:
Instant Deployment: Launch a database in seconds.
Effortless Scaling: Automatically scales resources up for peak traffic and back down for quiet periods.
No Idle Costs: When not in use, compute can scale to zero, so you don’t pay for idle time.
Pay-for-Use Billing: Pay only for the resources you consume, which is ideal for variable workloads like dev/test, payment apps and online games.
MariaDB Cloud is primarily designed for online applications and offers two topologies:
Replicated: Useful for mission-critical, production workloads requiring read scaling. Replicated services feature 1 primary and up to 4 replicas and uses MariaDB MaxScale for load balancing and automatic zero-interruption failover.
Single Node: Useful for low-cost development and test transactional workloads. Single Node services cannot be scaled to Replicated topologies.
MariaDB Cloud is a fully managed service, which means we handle the operational burden of maintenance for you. Our team of experts manages all routine software patching, security updates and version upgrades. You can configure your preferred maintenance windows to minimize disruption to your application. This lets your team focus on innovation, not on routine database administration.
MariaDB Cloud is engineered to provide superior performance and dramatically better price-performance than AWS Aurora.
In a recent benchmark comparing MariaDB Cloud with AWS Aurora (running MySQL), MariaDB Cloud consistently came out on top.
The results showed MariaDB Cloud delivers:
3x Higher Throughput: To power more demanding, transaction-heavy applications.
2.5x Lower Latency: For faster query response times and a better end-user experience.
7x Better Price-Performance: Allowing you to achieve significantly more performance for every dollar of your cloud spend.
