It has been long in the coming (Oracle bought Sun and MySQL over 15 years ago), but seems WordPress is finally at the point where MariaDB popularity surpassed MySQL as shown by stats at https://wordpress.org/about/stats/.

The share of MySQL 8.4 users is oddly low, just 0.1 %. One would think it would still be at least 1% or something..

What are your preferred strategies when a MySQL/MariaDB database server grows to have too much traffic for a single host to handle, i.e. scaling CPU/RAM or using regular replication is not an option anymore? Do you deploy ProxySQL to start splitting the traffic according to some rule to two different hosts?

Has anyone migrated to TiDB? In that case, what was the strategy to detect if the SQL your app uses is fully compatible with TiDB?

Besides having the latest version available, what do Ubuntu users who run MariaDB wish to see in future versions of MariaDB, or how it is integrated and packaged in Ubuntu?

I am the maintainer in Ubuntu - looking for feedback and ideas.

Another release to round out this month. Enjoy.

The XZ Utils backdoor, discovered last week, and the Heartbleed security vulnerability ten years ago, share the same ultimate root cause. Both of them, and in fact all critical infrastructure open source projects, should be fixed with the same solution: ensure baseline funding for proper open source maintenance.

Pulsar (former Atom) is still the best code editor in my opinion. It is easiest and fastest to use, has all the nice productivity boosting plugins and is overall great for all the same reasons the Atom was great. 🚀

Habits can be sustained for years and years. Goals often compel acts of heroism, which are not sustainable in the long run. As Bruce Lee once said, “long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.”
