AI search needs data that's open enough to reach and reliable enough to trust. Getting both right is still a work in progress. At @WeAreDevs World Congress in San Jose, MariaDB Chief Product Officer Vikas Mathur joined @youdotcom's Saurabh Sharma, Nephos' Tomislav Tipurić, and @CapitalOne's Jared J. to discuss how enterprises are preparing their data for the era of AI search — including what already works, and what remains unsolved. A special thank you to everyone who joined the conversation, and to all who stopped by our booth!

MariaDB is heading to the IONOS Summit in Berlin on September 30th — joining our incredible ecosystem partners @Bechtle, @Computacenter, Materna, and many more!

Join our team on-site to explore how our converged data platform helps organizations modernize legacy systems, deliver ultra-low latency AI workflows with vector search and RAG, and scale mission-critical applications securely within European cloud infrastructure. Thank you to IONOS for hosting! Learn more: mariadb.com/resources/events…

LAST CHANCE: Stop by Booth 622 at the @WeAreDevs World Congress in San Jose today to explore the MariaDB Enterprise Platform with our on-site experts — then, check out the session "How AI Search Changes the Data Game" with MariaDB's Vikas Mathur on the Tech Leaders stage at 12:20PM!

Should you use a serverless database when building AI applications? It’s likely 🤔 AI workflows that are built around Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines or LLM agents are bursty by nature — and serverless databases are handy in capturing the ebbs and flows without manual intervention. We broke down three places where a serverless database makes the most sense: mariadb.com/resources/blog/u…

Live, virtual, and constructive simulations run on data that has to be current at the edge — not current back at a central store. At AFCEA Orlando, MariaDB's Ryan Fetter explored this constraint in a session titled "Scaling Real-Time CJADC2, C4ISR & LVC Simulations" — where he emphasized the new operational reality of agentic AI, and what it takes for simulation environments to keep pace with agents acting on data directly. Thank you to Ryan for the conversation — and to everyone who joined!

When an airspace shutdown breaks, @flightradar24 is the go-to place for all — including newsrooms like @guardian, who treat what they see there as the record. But with sky-high trust comes an even higher need for reliable uptime… and as its popularity surged, Flightradar24's LAMP stack hit a ceiling, while on-premises hardware reached end-of-life. To expand capacity, they turned to MariaDB — running MariaDB Cloud on AWS. Explore the full story: mariadb.com/resources/custom…

Attending @WeAreDevs World Congress in San Jose next week? Don't miss the session, "How AI Search Changes the Data Game" — featuring MariaDB's Vikas Mathur! AI search is only as good as the data it runs on. The more powerful the system, the faster it exposes weak discoverability, poor quality, and shaky governance underneath. That's turning data readiness into an engineering problem, and enterprises are already sorting out which approaches hold up. Along with @youdotcom CTO Saurabh Sharma, @montecarlo_ai CEO and co-founder Barr Moses, and @CapitalOne Managing VP of Software Engineering Jared Jordan, Vikas will explore how enterprises can best prepare their data for AI search — including what works, and what still remains unsolved.

The release of MariaDB Community Server 12.3.2 brings a new feature in focus: the InnoDB-Based Binary Log. On HammerDB TPROC-C benchmarks, enabling it delivered up to 50% higher transaction throughput — and under full ACID durability, it still delivered a 17% increase with no compromise on data safety. Explore the benchmark setup, and the results across every durability setting: buff.ly/amaLmER

The most awkward part about building a database for an AI application is not knowing how much traffic it will get 😶 MariaDB Cloud Serverless takes the guesswork out — with setup only taking minutes, capacity follows actual usage, and there's no instance size to revisit. Explore it in depth: buff.ly/q9BC5ag

With Google’s Agent2Agent (A2A) now sitting next to MCP in the Agentic AI Foundation, agents across an enterprise can describe their purpose and call upon each other reliably — but their context is still up in the air. For @CoderLegion1, MariaDB's Vikas Mathur argues that even with inter-agent communication, the agents’ interpretations of the same entities can differ. As an example, an enterprise onboarding a new employee might invoke agents across the HR, IT, and engineering departments, with each system holding a different records for the same person. A2A passes the work between agents — but establishing that those records describe one person requires a shared context layer underneath. Read the latest: coderlegion.com/26532/ai-age…

Picture this 🤔 A team migrates one application from MySQL to MariaDB, using a standard mysqldump: ✅ Four gigabytes of data ✅ One application ✅ No replication ✅ No stored procedures It's about as clean as a migration gets — but despite running without a single error: ❌ No application log-in MariaDB's Michael Aglietti covers what happened in our latest blog — and how the MariaDB Migrator is built to handle users and privileges as an essential step: mariadb.com/resources/blog/w…

For enterprises, the journey to agentic AI is underway… but many organizations are still managing a structural bottleneck underneath it all.
 According to @Adobe's 2026 AI and Digital Trends Report, 78% of technology leaders say data integration and quality is a top AI challenge, while 52% say limited data unification is holding back initiatives across the enterprise — which puts the organizations moving fastest on AI further ahead of the ones still untangling their data. For @CIOonline, MariaDB's Adam Luciano shared what IT teams need to understand and build before agents can be trusted with real business processes: cio.com/article/4218846/how-…
