Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Engineering department uses MariaDB for its OLTP system. It solves the problem we had with NoSQL databases to give us an ACID compliant reliable database storage engine.

Pros

  • Gives us the flexibility to design data structures which can be joined to give data served by our APIs.
  • Provides us options to use multiple storage engines based on the data being stored.

Cons

  • Replication technology can definitely improve. Currently we face lot of issues with replication causing table locks.
  • Provide better troubleshooting tools out of the box, for example a comprehensive GUI like SSMS for SQL Server.
  • Alter table and add indexing is an overhead on large tables which causes replication and storage issues.

Likelihood to Recommend

  • Well suited for medium scale read and write systems
  • Not suited for systems where write workloads are high and require multiple masters to support the volume
