MariaDB provides a relational database built for all types of clouds.  Its database solutions are engineered to support any scale from a single department to global scale and any workload on private, public, hybrid, or multi-clouds.  Individual components of its solutions include  Enterprise Server, a premium version of Community Server; Xpand, for distributed SQL (structured query language); ColumnStore, for data warehousing; MaxScale, for high availability and load balancing; and SkySQL, a DBaaS for MariaDB products on public clouds.

I covered the stock lightly from its IPO, due to experience from my programming career, and the legacy product is still broadly used and well-regarded.  Though the new SkySQL product was well-suited to cloud installations using persistent memory, I did not expect the business to take off quickly and moved to a negative stance on the stock well before the company went private again.  As with Polestar, this service sometimes covers a company purely due to interest in a product or technology, and this is one of those examples.
