At Seravo, open source is not just a part of our tech stack. It forms the core of our technology and infrastructure, around which everything else is built and expanded upon. Open source is not only a way to publish code – it’s a way of being, collaborating and benefiting from shared effort.
Seravo is happy to announce that we are taking our long-standing relationship with the MariaDB community to the next level by officially sponsoring the MariaDB Foundation!
By becoming a silver sponsor, our long-standing relationship with MariaDB evolves into formal support for the future of the MariaDB database.
MariaDB Provides Excellent Performance for Hosting WordPress
For a web hosting company offering high performance, choosing the right database is of utmost importance. With MariaDB, we succeed in offering an expandable, cost-effective solution.
Seravo’s goal is to provide the best possible environment for WordPress and WooCommerce sites: the rest of the stack consists of Linux, Nginx and Redis. This infrastructure delivers scalability, minimal query latency, and high availability, especially for high-throughput WP and Woo operations.
Throughout the years in intensive production use, MariaDB has consistently demonstrated to be a reliable choice for our stack. The performance of the database, its stability and security directly drive our clients’ business outcomes as well. As a sign of doing things right, Seravo is recognized as an officially recommended WooCommerce hosting partner in Europe.
Seravo and MariaDB Support Each Other
Our support for MariaDB began years ago. The business relationship is mutual: Seravo hosts the official MariaDB.org website, whereas the MariaDB database forms a significant cornerstone of our platform. Now, we wish to set out an example and support the Foundation financially as well.
“I especially love welcoming sponsors who are already part of the MariaDB story. Seravo has been using MariaDB, contributing to open source and supporting the Foundation in practical ways for years. Their sponsorship formalises something that has existed for a long time: a shared interest in keeping the open-source infrastructure underneath the web strong, independent and thriving.”
Anna Widenius, CEO, MariaDB Foundation

Open Source Needs You
In 2026, open source is a key strategic requirement for resilience, compliance, and technological sovereignty in business operations. Proprietary platforms may challenge users with unpredictable pricing models, sudden feature deprecations, or abrupt licensing changes. Open source guarantees complete ownership over your technology stack.
Over the years, Seravo has actively supported open-source communities, guided by our commitment to responsible corporate citizenship. Reinvesting in the software that forms your core infrastructure isn’t just strategic – it sustains the entire ecosystem. Aside from being good for business, it’s the right thing to do. That is why we continue to advocate for MariaDB as a high-performance, accessible database for the web of today.
What is your favorite open-source tool, project, or community? Are you giving back to it yet? We encourage you to take that first step today. And if you’d like to join Seravo in backing the MariaDB Foundation, head over to mariadb.org to see how you can get involved!
