The Great Database Exodus: Navigating Strategic Risk in the Post-Oracle MySQL Era

The Great Database Exodus: Navigating Strategic Risk in the Post-Oracle MySQL Era

Migrate to innovate.

The database landscape has shifted. As Oracle pivots its focus exclusively to the proprietary HeatWave cloud, the on-premise MySQL you rely on has been left behind—deprived of innovation and stripped of its core engineering support.

But the alternative isn’t just a lifeboat; it’s a launchpad. By moving to MariaDB, you aren’t just securing your support lifecycle; you are unlocking the freedom to deploy anywhere—on-prem, in the cloud, or hybrid—while gaining immediate access to the Vector Search, AI, and Analytics capabilities that Oracle has locked behind a paywall.

Join us on January 28th for a frank, no-marketing-fluff panel with former Oracle MySQL leaders. We’ll move past the rumors and answer the critical question: Is your organization paying an “Enterprise Tax” for a product being intentionally stagnated? You Will Leave With Clarity On:

You Will Leave With Clarity On:

  • The Mandatory Assessment: Why Oracle’s moves trigger a non-negotiable vendor risk review for your team.
  • Avoiding the Costly Trap: Why migrating to a true, open-source fork is smarter than a painful, expensive architectural rewrite to Postgres.
  • Reclaiming Control: How to secure five-nines availability and full data sovereignty without proprietary barriers.
  • Future-Proofing Your Stack: How to gain immediate access to the AI and Analytics features Oracle has locked behind its cloud wall.

Why You Should Listen To Us (The Insiders Who Built Your Reality):

  • Jonathan Miller | Former Sr. Principal QA Developer, Oracle MySQL

    • The man who built the performance testing backbone for MySQL itself. He created Autobench3, the system Oracle used to test every release. Now he’s building the next-generation framework for the entire ecosystem at MariaDB Foundation.

  • Marissa Alden | Former Global VP, MySQL Software Sales, Oracle

    • She knows the playbook because she wrote it. For 12 years, she directed Oracle’s MySQL go-to-market and renewals strategy. She will decode the hidden financial pressures in your contract and the economic case for change.

  • Rich Mason | Former SVP & General Manager, MySQL Global Business Unit, Oracle

    • The executive who held the P&L for your MySQL database. As the former GM of MySQL at Oracle, he led the entire product line. He provides the ultimate lens on enterprise risk, compliance, and the danger of “orphaned” infrastructure.
