Assessing / selecting databases : MariaDB & MongoDB
Does MariaDB & MongoDB (I mean the Enterprise Edition) have
commercial support (just like RedHat Linux has while CentOS
is user-community support only)?
Concern is if there are security vulnerabilities (which may result
in data leaks) or DB corruption/integrity. I've heard of banks
using MariaDB but I'm not sure if they house critical data but
I certainly would not want to house critical data on databases
that are non-commercially supported or even if it's commercially
supported by vendors with low track record (I deem Oracle &
MS as good-track record DB vendors).
I think MongoDB is a non-relational (ie network) DB.
Concern is if a database is hosting critical data, user-community
support is not non-committal & patches are not released as
regularly as commercially-supported softwares, though it's
noted MS release patches monthly, much more than any other
commercial vendors

So if looking at MariaDB then perhaps also investigate MySQL (now owned by Oracle) and Percona
MySQL has an enterprise edition, and there are 24/7 support options

Version 8 of MySQL recently went GA and includes common table expressions and window functions
Percona have built their reputation on performance and support
