MariaDB vs Vertica: What are the differences?
What is MariaDB? An enhanced, drop-in replacement for MySQL. Started by core members of the original MySQL team, MariaDB actively works with outside developers to deliver the most featureful, stable, and sanely licensed open SQL server in the industry. MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
What is Vertica? Engineering experiences that amaze. Vertica provides a best-in-class, unified analytics platform that will forever be independent from underlying infrastructure.
MariaDB and Vertica belong to "Databases" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by MariaDB are:
- Replication
- Insert Delayed
- Events
On the other hand, Vertica provides the following key features:
- Analyze All of Your Data. No longer move data or settle for siloed views
- Achieve Scale and Performance
- Fear of growing data volumes and users is a thing of the past
MariaDB is an open source tool with 2.88K GitHub stars and 879 GitHub forks. Here's a link to MariaDB's open source repository on GitHub.

We actually use both Mongo and SQL databases in production. Mongo excels in both speed and developer friendliness when it comes to geospatial data and queries on the geospatial data, but we also like ACID compliance hence most of our other data (except on-site logs) are stored in a SQL Database (MariaDB for now)
