“Our work with MariaDB has given us all the technical capabilities we need for our platform and a level of responsiveness I’d characterize as going ‘above and beyond,’” Yim said. “Whether they’re addressing a question or a challenge we have in real time, or accepting input into the product roadmap, MariaDB is ready, willing and eager to collaborate.”

ServiceNow focuses on near-perfect availability with redundancy built into every layer of its   cloud platform. Reliability is vital to all ServiceNow customers, particularly to those supporting tier-one critical systems such as hospital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines and engine equipment in power facilities. Uptime is an absolute must. ServiceNow deploys MariaDB TX over its multi-instance architecture to provide high availability.

“We are grateful for the collaborative relationship with ServiceNow that helps guide the MariaDB roadmap,” said Max Mether, Head of Server Product Management, MariaDB Corporation. “Customers like ServiceNow inspire new ideas for our products and validate new features, which in turn benefits the broader MariaDB community. Going forward, we’re excited about further expanding the scope of our work together as ServiceNow’s business continues its impressive growth rate.”

MariaDB not only fulfills the open source mandate for ServiceNow but also proved to be a collaborative development partner. Today, the two companies continue working together on new features around real-time data definition language (DDL) as well as plans to enhance encryption for cloud computing.
