## Summary

MariaDB announced the general availability of Enterprise Platform 2027 on November 4, 2026. The release bundles Enterprise Server 12.3 with tools for agent memory, semantic caching, and AI retrieval. The company reported a 56% increase in peak throughput compared to version 11.8, based on sponsored testing by McKnight Consulting Group.

The platform introduces features designed for AI agents, including Agent Memory to store state across sessions and Semantic Cache to reduce token costs by reusing responses for similar queries. AI Retrieval allows natural language questions to be converted into SQL queries against live operational data, eliminating the need for separate vector stores. MariaDB Exa is also now generally available for real-time analytics without ETL pipelines.

The performance claim cites 2,653,370 new orders per minute for version 12.3.3-0 versus 1,702,758 for 11.8.3-1 in a specific Google Cloud environment. However, the test disabled durable commits and binary logging, and MariaDB selected its own configurations. The platform supports on-premises, cloud, and managed deployments, with FIPS 140-3 support via the Enterprise Kubernetes Operator.

## Key points

- MariaDB released Enterprise Platform 2027, adding agent memory, semantic cache, and AI retrieval tools.
- Sponsored tests showed 56% higher peak throughput for Enterprise Server 12.3 than version 11.8.
- The platform supports on-premises, cloud, and managed deployments with FIPS 140-3 compliance options.

## Why it matters

This release positions MariaDB as a unified data platform for AI agents, potentially reducing infrastructure complexity and costs by consolidating transactional, analytical, and vector workloads into a single system.
