What database engine is part of the infrastructure of Adobe Commerce Cloud projects?

Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure utilizes a standardized technology stack to ensure optimal performance, security, and compatibility across all projects. According to the official Adobe Commerce Cloud Guide, MariaDB is the specified database engine for this environment. While on-premise versions of Adobe Commerce support both MySQL and MariaDB, the cloud platform is exclusively provisioned with MariaDB to maintain a consistent and managed infrastructure. This standardization simplifies support and guarantees that all cloud environments are running on a tested and certified database solution.

A. Percona: Percona is a fork of MySQL focused on performance, but it is not the standard database engine provisioned for Adobe Commerce Cloud projects.
C. MySQL: While Adobe Commerce (on-premise) supports MySQL, the cloud infrastructure specifically and exclusively uses MariaDB, which is a community-developed fork of MySQL.
