MariaDB Foundation in 2021

MariaDB Server 10.5 was released as GA in June 2020.

Highlights include:

  • the ColumnStore storage engine, a columnar storage engine designed for big data scaling
  • numerous performance improvements to the default InnoDB storage engine
  • a new S3 storage engine for archiving tables on Amazon S3, or any third-party implementing S3 API
  • an overhaul of the privilege system, allowing more fine grained control
  • a huge update of the Performance Schema, providing far more instrumentation and tables
  • full GTID support for Galera Cluster
  • numerous syntax enhancements to extend functionality and improve adherence to standards

The MariaDB Foundation hosted the MariaDB Server Fest, and the MariaDB Server MiniFest, two highly successful online events for developers of applications that use MariaDB Server.
