What would you like to know?
- mardifoufs 4y agoIs there a reason why revenue figures are so low? Considering some other db products seem to be doing fine?
- nickstinemates 4y agoWhat was/is impressive about MariaDB is their ability to sell to a large swath of users, from Mom&Pop shops to some of the very largest enterprises[1]. In the ServiceNow case, each customer has their own entire db and the magic is in orchestrating all of this. Where MariaDB really shines and drives usage is around their ColumnStore[2]. Some of the downsides from a larger adoption and integration standpoint is the BSL license[3]. Relatively unknown and untested and as a result there's aversion to risk. To get the direct answer to your question, I think a combination of the factors previously in conjunction with revenue being eroded from cloud offering their tech as a service, and SkySQL[4] not making up for the difference are serious inhibitors to revenue. 1: https://mariadb.com/resources/customer-stories/servicenow-massive-scale-with-mariadb/ https://mariadb.com/resources/customer-stories/servicenow-ma... 2: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-columnstore/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-columnstore/ 3: https://mariadb.com/bsl-faq-mariadb/ https://mariadb.com/bsl-faq-mariadb/ 4: https://mariadb.com/products/skysql/ https://mariadb.com/products/skysql/
