AliSQL
Alibaba Cloud's open-source MySQL branch, protocol-compatible with MySQL 8.0 and extended with a DuckDB-backed analytical storage engine, native vector search, and flashback queries.
Apache Doris
An open source, real-time analytics and search database built on MPP architecture, speaking the MySQL wire protocol for fast SQL analytics, lakehouse query acceleration, and hybrid search.
Apache ShardingSphere
A distributed SQL ecosystem that adds data sharding, read/write splitting, encryption, and other enterprise capabilities on top of MySQL and other databases, deployable as an enhanced JDBC driver or as a standalone proxy.
Dolt
A SQL database that can be branched, merged, cloned, and pushed like a Git repository — `dolt sql-server` speaks the MySQL wire protocol, so existing MySQL clients and drivers connect to it directly.
go-mysql-server
A pure Go, MySQL wire-protocol-compatible SQL query engine that lets any Go program expose its own data as a MySQL server — the engine underneath DoltHub's Dolt.
GreatSQL
A MySQL branch built on top of Percona Server for MySQL, adding high-availability, parallel-query, and security features aimed at financial-grade workloads.
MariaDB Server
An open-source relational database forked from MySQL by its original developers, maintained by the MariaDB Foundation and MariaDB plc, with MySQL wire-protocol compatibility, pluggable storage engines, and built-in Galera clustering.
MyRocks
A write- and space-optimized MySQL storage engine built on Facebook's RocksDB, designed to use significantly less storage and flash write capacity than InnoDB for the same data.
MySQL NDB Cluster
Oracle's official shared-nothing, in-memory distributed storage engine and clustering technology for MySQL — built for very high availability and horizontal scaling, with no single point of failure.
OceanBase
A distributed relational database from Ant Group with a MySQL-compatible mode, built for HTAP workloads at petabyte scale with no single point of failure.
Percona Server for MySQL
A drop-in replacement for MySQL with enhanced performance, observability, and security features.
Percona XtraDB Cluster
A synchronous, multi-master MySQL clustering solution built on Galera replication, developed by Percona as a high-availability alternative to standalone MySQL.
StarRocks
An open-source MPP analytical database with native MySQL wire-protocol support, built for sub-second queries over local tables and data-lake tables alike.
TiDB
An open-source, distributed SQL database with MySQL wire-protocol compatibility, built for horizontal scalability, strong consistency, and hybrid transactional/analytical (HTAP) workloads.
TidesDB
A fast, embeddable transactional key-value storage engine library written in C on an LSM-tree, with TideSQL pluggable storage engines for MySQL and MariaDB.
VillageSQL Server
VillageSQL is the Innovation Platform for MySQL. It is a drop-in replacement for MySQL that adds an extension framework (similar to PostgreSQL's extension framework).
Vitess
A database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL, born at YouTube and now a CNCF project.
