MariaDB stands as one of the world's leading open-source relational databases, renowned for its maturity and widespread adoption. Born as a fork of MySQL, MariaDB maintains high compatibility with its predecessor while offering enhanced features and performance.

SkySQL is a multi-cloud, fully managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), designed to deploy MariaDB across diverse environments including multiple data centers, regions, and cloud providers. It now offers both traditional provisioned and serverless deployment options, catering to a wide range of use cases and workload patterns while preventing over-provisioning.
SkySQL is an AI-driven, fully managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), designed to deploy MariaDB and MySQL-compatible workloads across diverse environments including multiple data centers, regions, and cloud providers. It now offers both traditional provisioned and serverless deployment options, catering to a wide range of use cases and workload patterns while preventing over-provisioning. With the addition of the no-code SkyAI Agent builder, developers can easily provide natural language interfaces to their end users to ask questions of the data without SQL expertise.

Originally developed by [MariaDB](http://mariadb.com), SkySQL aimed to be the most comprehensive cloud platform for MariaDB. Its robust feature set is the result of years of insights gathered from hundreds of customers running mission-critical workloads. In late 2023, the core team behind SkySQL formed an independent company, named **SkySQL**, to further advance the platform.

SkySQL elevates MariaDB to enterprise-grade with production-ready features:

## **Key Features of SkySQL**

### **Advanced Scalability**
- **Serverless Scaling:** Provides near instantaneous scaling from zero to defined upper limit and back down to zero, adapting dynamically to workloads without manual intervention.
- **Intelligent Load Balancing:** Maintains consistency via smart proxy-based load balancing and read-write splitting.
- **Flexible Consistency:** Offers both causal and strong global consistency models.
- **Custom Query Routing:** Allows fine-tuned performance optimization through customizable routing rules.

### **Integrated AI Agents**
- **Semi Autonomous Agent Builder:** Create domain specific AI agents to ask questions of your data with human in the loop validation via UI interface
- **App Integration:** Embed conversational interfaces into your apps with the associated agent REST API endpoints
- **Built-in Developer and DBA Copilot Agents:** Improves productivity with general SkySQL questions, query performance tuning, and troubleshooting guidance.

### **Global Multi-Cloud Presence**
Available in 40+ regions across AWS, GCP, and Azure, offering unparalleled flexibility and reach.
