    I’ve never heard of K1.

    Should we expect MariaDB enshittification to ensure?

    Strategic investment aims to accelerate MariaDB’s mission to deliver innovative, scalable database solutions with new executive leadership to drive the next phase of growth

    I’m not reading that as a “no” :(

      How the fuck do you “accelerate” something they are already achieving?

      Not sure how much of a future it can have even if you slap on some “speed”.

      There were so many web apps written in the early 00s on the LAMP stack, including Facebook. And that’s not counting the tiny internal applications that so many businesses have that use MySQL/MariaDB. Because these are business critical applications, they pay Oracle/MariaDB for support.

    Well, who is using mysql/mariadb nowadays anyways? If you haven’t made the switch to at least postgres in the past 5 years, you messed up anyways.
