MariaDB brings fully containerized relational enterprise database to Google Cloud
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. & HELSINKI, March 31 2020 – MariaDB® Corporation today announced a technology partnership with Google Cloud to make MariaDB SkySQL available on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). SkySQL, which launched today, is the first database-as-a-service (DBaaS) to unlock the full power of MariaDB Platform for transactions, analytics or both, optimized with a cloud-native architecture and backed from the source, the engineers who built the database. The partnership enables deeper product integration and a go-to-market relationship to better serve joint MariaDB and Google customers.
SkySQL cloud database implements a state-of-the-art architecture including leveraging Kubernetes for container orchestration. Built on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), SkySQL uses a modern approach to deliver mission-critical capabilities for all. The partnership enables a close working relationship between MariaDB, Google Cloud and GKE engineers to optimize SkySQL to run on GCP.
“We’re proud to partner with MariaDB and to launch SkySQL on Google Cloud,” said Manvinder Singh, Director, Partnerships, Google Cloud. “Organizations are increasingly looking to the cloud to store and manage their data. Bringing SkySQL to Google Cloud gives customers an additional cloud-native and open source-based database, and enables them to leverage the openness, functionality and performance of MariaDB’s relational database on Google Cloud’s global and trusted infrastructure.”
“We’re excited to join forces with Google Cloud and extend the ubiquity of MariaDB and our new SkySQL cloud database,” said Kevin Farley, Director of Strategic Alliances, MariaDB Corporation. “With Kubernetes as a key architecture component of SkySQL, Google Cloud’s leading software-defined infrastructure and superior networking, we choose to debut on Google Cloud. Partnering with Google Cloud as the undisputed experts on Kubernetes and a big supporter of open source gives us a unique opportunity to bring best-of-breed solutions with ‘from the source’ support for joint customers.”
SkySQL is available now on GCP and will be available on the Google Marketplace in April 2020.

Database Market Analysis
“By 2024 the converged RDBMS and NoSQL market segment will account for about two-thirds of $60 Billion database market. The database market as a whole is not expected to grow in monetary terms, cannibalized from within by availability of open source database platforms and cloud offers, but it will significantly grow in terms of processed data volume. At the same time, such segments as converged RDBMS and NoSQL and niche service will grow at the robust double-digit growth to offset a general decline of the database market.”

“Database Market Continues to Grow: Analysts are projecting the database market to grow to $60B by 2022. Given the continued expansion of the database market, YugaByte aims to capitalize on the convergence of three trends; ongoing demand for SQL databases, the accelerating adoption of NoSQL databases, and the inevitable migration of business-critical data to containers and the cloud.”
“In today’s multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud world, applications are becoming portable but databases are not. Fortune 500 CIOs are starting to re-platform the data layer for scalability, developer friendliness and cloud-neutrality,” said Deepak Jeevankumar, Managing Director, Dell Technologies Capital. “YugaByte is helping democratize the transactional database layer by offering a single non-proprietary database that can span public and private clouds. YugaByte’s value proposition is strong for both CIOs, who can avoid cloud vendor lock-in at the database layer, and for developers, who don’t have to re-architect existing applications because of YugaByte’s built-in native compatibility to popular NoSQL and SQL interfaces.” Source: YugaByte raises $16 Million to combine SQL and NoSQL in a single database
