MariaDB will also staff a booth showcasing its Server Ecosystem Hub and Solution Stacks, with demos and engineers available for questions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is zero-configuration SSL in MariaDB 11.8? Zero-configuration SSL in MariaDB 11.8 automatically encrypts client/server connections with end-to-end certificate verification, without requiring CA-signed certificates or manual SSL setup. It pairs with PARSEC authentication, a trustless authentication protocol with built-in protection against brute-force, replay, and precomputation attacks, so secure connections work by default rather than requiring PKI expertise. _Teams planning a MariaDB upgrade can follow protocol security changes like these on daily.dev._ ### What are the main differences a MySQL DBA should expect when managing a MariaDB server? MySQL and MariaDB have diverged after years of independent development, with notable differences in replication, GTIDs, SQL syntax, permissions, plugins, binlogs, undo log handling, and JSON functionality. A MySQL DBA handed a MariaDB environment should not assume it behaves identically, since these areas can behave differently and occasionally surprise experienced administrators. _DBAs weighing a MySQL-to-MariaDB move can track community comparisons like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [MariaDB Foundation Newsletter – September 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/mariadb-foundation-newsletter-september-2026-bbuwtzgde) · MariaDB.org · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Where can you find MySQL from August through October 2026?](https://daily.dev/posts/where-can-you-find-mysql-from-august-through-october-2026--ydweanupi) · Planet MySQL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Percona University Comes to Uruguay](https://daily.dev/posts/percona-university-comes-to-uruguay-i1libmedy) · Percona Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/infrastructure), [#backend](https://daily.dev/tags/backend), [#authentication](https://daily.dev/tags/authentication) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/mariadb-at-percona-live-amsterdam-2026-ecosystem-plugins-security-and-community-u8bh4gh24) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"MariaDB at Percona Live Amsterdam 2026: Ecosystem, Plugins, Security, and Community","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/mariadb-at-percona-live-amsterdam-2026-ecosystem-plugins-security-and-community-u8bh4gh24","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/mariadb-at-percona-live-amsterdam-2026-ecosystem-plugins-security-and-community-u8bh4gh24"},"datePublished":"2026-08-31T10:23:27.786Z","dateModified":"2026-08-31T10:23:51.010Z","description":"MariaDB will have a strong presence at Percona Live Amsterdam, September 9-11, 2026, with sessions on server plugin development, new protocol security features...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/147de75be9152f624b09400f5bbae063?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/147de75be9152f624b09400f5bbae063?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"MariaDB.org","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MariaDB.org","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--onniydaR--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487510/logos/mariadb-foundation?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/mariadb-foundation"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/mariadb-at-percona-live-amsterdam-2026-ecosystem-plugins-security-and-community-u8bh4gh24","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"open-source,infrastructure,backend,authentication","timeRequired":"PT7M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"MariaDB.org","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/mariadb-foundation"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"MariaDB at Percona Live Amsterdam 2026: Ecosystem, Plugins, Security, and Community"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/mariadb-at-percona-live-amsterdam-2026-ecosystem-plugins-security-and-community-u8bh4gh24#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is zero-configuration SSL in MariaDB 11.8?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Zero-configuration SSL in MariaDB 11.8 automatically encrypts client/server connections with end-to-end certificate verification, without requiring CA-signed certificates or manual SSL setup.
