Amazon RDS vs. MariaDB SkySQL

Many development teams looking to create new applications or migrate existing databases to the cloud consider Amazon’s Relational Database Service (RDS) offering. Amazon RDS is a popular option because of its easy deployment; however, developers frequently run into availability and scalability challenges. The good news is that now you have another option: MariaDB SkySQL.

SkySQL is a database-as-a-service (DBaaS) built and supported by MariaDB. It’s the first DBaaS to offer distributed SQL for applications with the most demanding scalability and elasticity requirements – plus continuous availability and zero downtime, thanks to an advanced database proxy and full redundancy.
