MariaDB buys back the company it sold two years ago

The platform, he said, “offers serverless, pay-as-you-go pricing alongside provisioned single-node and high-availability clusters.” He pointed out that it is available across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure in more than 40 regions, and offers optional add-ons such as Backup, SkyAI Agents, and SkyDBA, “giving customers broad deployment flexibility and minimizing dependency on a single provider.”

This architecture, said Pratt, “positions MariaDB Cloud for an agentic AI–driven future. Agents can be launched on demand and scale elastically. They support session-based state maintenance, and deployment across multiple regions enables adherence to data residency requirements. Multi-cloud support further boosts resilience and helps mitigate vendor lock-in.”

“[MariaDB Cloud] delivers serverless scalability, multi-cloud flexibility, and integrated AI capabilities, an essential combination for organizations building toward an agentic AI future,” he noted.
