My main use case for MariaDB on CentOS is as a database for my application. A quick specific example of how I'm using MariaDB on CentOS for my application includes Laravel-based applications and WordPress-based applications as a replacement for MySQL.
MariaDB on CentOS serves as one of the databases we use for our application, and we deploy it on a CentOS system. This is how we use it in our day-to-day operations.Regarding our use case, I find that it is quite a good database to use. It has all the MySQL features that we want, and it is quite easy to deploy as well. The whole table is in MariaDB, and that is how we use it in our day-to-day work.
MariaDB on CentOS was used for basic managed WordPress hosting, having all the databases of customers with WordPress websites. Regarding my use case with MariaDB on CentOS, we also took MySQL dumps, which is similar in MariaDB. We also used replication sometimes for those MariaDB instances. Sometimes, we needed to use some queries to check the max connection on the database; these are a few things that we were doing.
The major use case for MariaDB on CentOS is that we are working in IoT; we have installed some NFC meters on the network towers, basically mobile towers, for collecting metrics such as voltage, current, load, and everything that consumes electricity, which we are storing in MariaDB on CentOS. It is a small project, so we directly went with it. MariaDB on CentOS is effective in handling large data volumes; I have installed approximately 10,000 devices and it is working well. I have put MariaDB on CentOS behind a few systems and it is working for my 10,000 devices easily with no issues.
I always use MariaDB on CentOS for performance testing, as my main job is to analyze all the issues after the load test. Performance testing is the central use case.
I use MariaDB on CentOS as a database for other applications, and in our field, we need absolute availability. MariaDB on CentOS offers, with an additional product called Galera, a very dependable solution, and I am very enthusiastic about it. At the moment, I am setting up a cluster of MariaDB on CentOS.
MariaDB on CentOS is used in a hybrid cloud and public cloud environment. It has been deployed in AWS and DigitalOcean, installed separately rather than as a managed service.

My main use case for MariaDB on CentOS in my last organization was in the telecom domain, where clients mainly focused on the database called MariaDB, for which we set up on-premises servers running on CentOS with various versions. A specific example of how I used MariaDB on CentOS in my telecom projects is that we employed it for replication with high availability, setting up high availability for the production environment, including auto-failover and auto-switchover. Additionally, we also used MariaDB on CentOS in the cloud environment, managing a couple of tables with terabytes of data by modifying and adding columns, new indexes, and other tasks, which were all part of my use cases.
