MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more
features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.

MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB foundation.

and who is developing MariaDB.

MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who
now work for MariadB foundation and SkySQL Ab, and by many people in
the community.
