Roger Levy, SkySQL, at PerconaLive 2014 with John Furrier and Jeff Kelly

SQL took the lead at #PerconaLive when Roger Levy, VP Product Management at SkySQL joins hosts John Furrier and Jeffrey Kelly on #theCUBE to talk about everything from SkySQL, to the enterprise, to commercialized software, to MariaDB.
SkySQL has a very simple mission according to Levy, who recently left Hewlett-Packard to join SkySQL: To be the commercializer of the enterprise grade distribution of MariaDB. MariaDB is the next generation of MySQL, which is an open source, relational database management system created by Michael Widenius in 1995. MariaDB seeks to continue the innovation and community-lead development around relational databases.
Last week, SkySQL announced MariaDB 10, a community-produced version of the database. This new release brings significant performance improvements in both speed and scalability compared to legacy MySQL code. As one of the more popular forks of MySQL, SkySQL is beefing up its position in the MariaDB community. Mobile consumers very much play a role in the release, as mobile users are not only the majority, but they also are more likely to access cloud services. Thus, companies must still process more data, and the amount is increasing rapidly. From SiliconANGLE's own Saroj Kar, "The latest versions of MariaDB Enterprise and Cluster supplied by SkySQL is aiming to give managers and database developers more flexibility to manage large amounts of data."
Cloud by itself is providing opportunity for innovation in the data center. Levy uses OpenStack, which he is very familiar with, as a great example. With OpenStack, data and the cloud work together cooperatively.
As the market grows more competitive, Kelly asked Levy if we needed to worry about over-saturating the developer market? According to Levy, there are a lot of lessons to learn from MongoDB's success. MongoDB demonstrated that if you really think about the core needs of a developer, you'll hit a home run. Levy suggests that providing a technology with the functionality a developer needs that's also familiar is critical to nurturing an active developer community.
With the launch of MariaDB 10, Levy told #theCUBE hosts that SkySQL is keenly aware of the need to bring more and more interoperability between the relational database space and the non-relational database space. With MariaDB 10, SkySQL introduced integration with the Apache Cassandra NoSQL database. This 'gateway', allows you to read and write to your Cassandra database through MariaDB.
SkySQL is focused on developers having the right tool for the right thing. Connecting to NoSQL is no small feat either. People who go after a NoSQL solution realize that there is an awful lot of work to do to make it function appropriately with your application if you need any kind of transactional function, says Levy. SkySQL wants to offer you a hybrid option.
Levy gives this example: an application that is non-relational and non-structured in capabilities within Cassandra, while you build the transaction oriented portion of your application in MariaDB, and then bridge the both of them together.
