Compatibility?
MariaDB Galera Cluster is fully data-compatible with MariaDB or
MySQL, as it will work with the standard databases created by these
products. There are next to none or very minimal application changes
that are required to make the solution work.

What's next?
The plan is for a rapid release cycle to heavily test the performance
and usage of MariaDB Galera Cluster in different environments. Please

Quotes:
Seppo Jaakola, CEO for Codership
"It's great that we are working closely with an upstream provider
of a MySQL-compatible binary, MariaDB. We no longer have to spend
time coding against out-of-tree changes as we're part of MariaDB.
The excellent MariaDB engineering team constantly releases new
versions of MariaDB with high quality assurance (QA). Codership
will continue to collaborate closely with the MariaDB engineering
team to improve the product and make new versions of the MariaDB
Galera Cluster available."
Michael "Monty" Widenius, CEO for Monty Program Ab
"We've received a significant amount of requests for a MariaDB
based Galera cluster and today we're proud to deliver that. We're
currently preparing ourselves and our partners for a rollout of
the GA product and related professional services via SkySQL to
run critical systems on top of MariaDB Galera Cluster."
The MariaDB Team will together with Codership work on customer requests
and demands in the areas of cluster and replication. Please contact us
if you are interested in any services we can offer around Galera,
MariaDB or MySQL. http://montyprogram.com/contact
