MySQL / MariaDB

Administer, optimize, and secure MySQL and MariaDB databases in development and production environments.

When to Use

• You need a mature, widely supported relational database.
• Your stack depends on MySQL-specific features or compatibility (WordPress, Magento, many PHP frameworks).
• You are setting up source-replica replication for read scaling.
• You want to tune InnoDB for high-throughput transactional workloads.

Prerequisites

• Linux server (Debian/Ubuntu or RHEL-based) or Docker.
• Root or sudo access for package installation.
• Familiarity with SQL fundamentals.
