What is MariaDB?
MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS), which is a fork of MySQL. It was developed by the same team that created MySQL, under the leadership of Michael “Monty” Widenius, and in response to fears about Oracle Corporation’s purchase of MySQL.

In terms of migration, it simply means that MariaDB has similar SQL syntaxes, APIs, and tools to those used in MySQL databases.
