MariaDB is a popular open source relational database that is part of most cloud and Linux distributions. It’s made by the original developers of MySQL and built upon the values of performance, stability, and openness.
Kaj Arnö is CEO of the MariaDB Foundation, which is furthering MariaDB adoption and is working on openness so everybody can contribute to it.

The role played by Hetzner for MariaDB Foundation is basically hosting a variety of our web presences. So our website mariadb.org, and then the services that we manage ourselves, such as the downloads, the archive, our Zabbix or Grafana, our internal applications over the web, we host them with Hetzner.

So the buildbot we use at Hetzner, it's something we've set up - we have several high performance servers, lots of platforms. The idea is for us to be able to ensure that after a commit on GitHub that we really know that that commit is working on all platforms. We have a buildbot tree that hopefully is green all the time, but if it's red, we have something called a protected branch, meaning that the commit doesn't go through.

With Hetzner there are three things that we really appreciate: it’s reliability, it's latency and it’s cost.
