# MySQL to MariaDB Migration Services
[](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/744339/1c80e2a3-3331-4fa1-8a3e-b06bc506baa0)
MySQL is a popular relational database management system and is used in various web applications. However, the database is falling out of favour ever since Oracle purchased it in 2009. The progress of this database along with its continued status as an open source software after this deal is under the cloud because Oracle has its own enterprise software and business interests to look after. This has left many users looking for alternative options. Enter MariaDB.
MariaDB is an open source fork of MySQL which is built by the original developers of the latter. MariaDB is proving to be an increasingly attractive proposition for the open source community. Big companies like Wikimedia and Google have already migrated from MySQL to MariaDB. It is a drop-in replacement to MySQL, with complete binary compatibility with all APIs and protocols, all MySQL connectors (PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, and etc.) and tools such as MySQL-client.
And the best part about MariaDB? It can be set up in three simple steps:
- Back up your databases
- Uninstall MySQL
- Install MariaDB
Once this is done, you can manage your data just like before. Couple it with skills that the PHP development team at e-Zest bring to the table and migrating from MySQL to MariaDB is a cakewalk.
Apart from the ease of implementation, the big advantage is that, it is not subject to the control of a single big vendor like in MySQL. MariaDB offers more features such as multiple storage engines, subqueries, performance enhancing optimizer, and superior replication. You can simply look at MariaDB as a MySQL with added features.
So if you were worried about the future of MySQL, now is the time to make the shift to MariaDB. With an ever increasing user base, this newer database is surely here for the long haul.
If you want to get started with the migration process, the PHP development team at e-Zest boasts of a vast experience of dealing with this technology. We work closely with our customers and provide total solutions and support – from consultation to design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance. Through our customer-centric approach and product engineering heritage, we will make sure that your migration process from MySQL to MariaDB is a seamless one.
