Deep dive - Discovering a gem: MariaDB pluggable architecture

Описание: A comprehensive guide to leveraging MariaDB’s pluggable architecture for optimized, cost-effective data management across diverse workload requirements.
As applications grow, data architectures are increasingly forced into fragmented stacks of specialized databases.
This DeepDive shows how MariaDB’s pluggable architecture offers an alternative: a single SQL platform capable of supporting transactional, analytical, and specialized workloads through modular extension.
Designed for software architects and platform leaders, the session focuses on architectural decision-making, workload alignment, and long-term flexibility rather than implementation details.
