Navigating Open Source at Scale: How Swiss organisations can secure, scale and modernise their database estate without surrendering control
MariaDB is embedded across the modern technology landscape - from Linux distributions and cloud-native platforms to applications many organisations already depend on. But as MariaDB Community builds become business-critical and AI demands accelerate, hidden risks emerge around unsupported versions, unpatched vulnerabilities, availability, licensing, and operational friction.
Join VSHN Co-Founder Aarno Aukia and MariaDB’s executive Jonas Schwegler to discover what digital sovereignty in practice actually looks like for your data layer. Learn how a unified MariaDB Enterprise architecture, backed by MaxScale zero-downtime failover and Swiss-hosted OpenShift operations, delivers compliance-ready reliability while serving as a sovereign substrate for AI RAG, native vector search, and agentic workloads without public cloud lock-in.
You’ll also learn how to consolidate transactional, analytical, and AI workloads into a single engine, eliminating complex ETL pipelines, operated natively within Switzerland by VSHN with direct access to MariaDB engineering.
Attendee Benefit: Registrants gain direct qualification for a joint MariaDB & VSHN Estate Health Check, which unlocks an exclusive invitation to our upcoming in-person technical session in Zurich with Aarno Aukia and Monty Widenius - founders of VSHN and MariaDB.
