Jakarta, October 15, 2025 — Wahana Piranti Teknologi successfully held an event titled “Get to Know MariaDB Enterprise: Business Solutions for the Modern Data-Driven Enterprise” at the Jambuluwuk Thamrin Hotel, Jakarta. The event attracted dozens of participants from various industry sectors, eager to gain a deeper understanding of the increasingly relevant open-source database solution: MariaDB Enterprise.

One of the key highlights of the event was the participants’ strong curiosity about MariaDB’s advantages over MySQL. The interactive discussion and lively Q&A session demonstrated that many professionals are now considering MariaDB as a more scalable, secure, and cost-efficient alternative.

“We were surprised by the number of attendees who had already tried MariaDB and wanted to learn more about its enterprise features. This demonstrates a shift in mindset from ‘free’ to ‘strategic,'” said Anand Swaminathan, Director of MariaDB, who was one of the keynote speakers.

The event featured two speakers from MariaDB:

• Anand Swaminathan – Director, who discussed MariaDB’s global strategy and positioning in modern data infrastructure.
• Kanthimathi Kalaisanathan – Database Solution Engineer, who explored technical features such as high availability, security, and cloud integration.

Both provided insights that were easy to understand, even for non-technical attendees, thanks to their storytelling approach and real-life case studies.

In addition to the educational sessions, attendees also won five attractive door prizes and networked with fellow professionals. The warm and energetic atmosphere made the event not only informative but also inspiring.
