About MariaDB Documentation

The documentation for MariaDB products is

• written in standard American English,

• using Markdown format,

• stored in Git.

It is maintained by a team of technical writers from MariaDB plc and the MariaDB Foundation.

Until June 2025, the documentation used to be in the MariaDB KnowledgeBase (KB). With a few exceptions, mostly concerning outdated modules and functionality, all pages were migrated to a new platform, GitBook.
