Geopits manages MariaDB environments for teams who need their databases to stay fast, available, and secure, without building an in-house DBA team to do it.

MariaDB, Managed for Production-Grade Reliability
MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system created by the original developers of MySQL, offering a drop-in compatible alternative with additional storage engines, stronger community governance, and features like Galera Cluster for synchronous multi-master replication and ColumnStore for analytical workloads.
With support for MariaDB MaxScale for intelligent query routing, Galera Cluster for high availability, and GTID-based replication, MariaDB gives engineering teams a reliable, open-source database with no vendor lock-in. The challenge is keeping it tuned, monitored, and maintained as data and traffic grow. That is where Geopits comes in.

Know MoreFrequently Asked Questions
What does MariaDB managed services include?
MariaDB managed services covers 24/7 monitoring, query optimisation, Galera Cluster and replication management, backup and recovery, version upgrades, security hardening, and incident response. At Geopits, every engagement includes proactive monitoring via GeoOps and a dedicated DBA team familiar with your environment.
How is MariaDB different from MySQL, and does that change how it is managed?
MariaDB is a MySQL-compatible fork with additional features including Galera Cluster for synchronous multi-master replication, MariaDB MaxScale for intelligent query routing, and the ColumnStore engine for analytics. Operationally, Galera Cluster requires specialised management that standard MySQL DBA experience does not always cover. Geopits manages both.
Do you support MariaDB on cloud platforms?
Yes. Geopits manages MariaDB across AWS RDS for MariaDB, Azure Database for MariaDB, and self-managed deployments on GCP and on-premise. We also support MariaDB SkySQL for teams using the managed cloud offering.
How quickly can Geopits take over management of our existing MariaDB environment?
Most environments are fully onboarded within two to three weeks. We start with a read-only assessment covering topology, Galera Cluster or replication setup, and backup posture before taking operational ownership. No downtime required.
What MariaDB versions does Geopits support?
Geopits supports MariaDB 10.4 through 11.x, including MariaDB Community Server and MariaDB Enterprise Server. For teams running older versions, we can plan a structured upgrade path using our SQL Compare Tool.
How do you handle MariaDB performance issues in production?
We address performance issues through continuous slow query monitoring, EXPLAIN plan analysis, index audits, and buffer pool tuning. P1 incidents receive immediate response with a 15-minute SLA.
What is your approach to MariaDB high availability?
Geopits designs and manages HA using Galera Cluster for synchronous multi-master replication and MariaDB MaxScale for connection routing and automatic failover. All setups include tested failover procedures and documented runbooks.
Is Geopits MariaDB support available for startups or only for enterprises?
We work with both. Engagements are scoped to your environment and growth stage, so you are not paying for coverage you do not need.
