Why MariaDB and Progress Belong Together

We think that the best acquisitions are mutually beneficial for both organizations. In a new blog post published today, John Ainsworth, our Executive Vice President and General Manager, Application and Data Platform, discusses the history of Progress in the database space and why we believe MariaDB makes for an ideal business candidate to be a part of Progress.

“MarkLogic constitutes a notable moment in the evolution of Progress insofar as it now claims flagship products for structured and unstructured data within its product portfolio that are also richly complemented by Chef Software.”

IDC “Progress to Acquire MarkLogic,” January 5, 2023

“OpenEdge has always been a development environment that allows for a faster time to market.”

Sophy Nathanali CEO, Apero Solutions and 30-year OpenEdge customer

“Our clients need simplicity, but also a powerful, consistent solution. And OpenEdge has given us speed and responsiveness, no matter how big the database, how many users or how high the transaction rate—there is no downtime.”

CONFERENCE & COMMUNITY

Partnering with Vibrant Open-Source Communities

At Progress, we value the energy and commitment of the open-source ecosystem. A good example is how we’ve nurtured and engaged with the vibrant Chef open-source community since our acquisition of Chef in 2020. We established a Community Advisory Council, to involve the community in our decision-making process related to the OSS policy, product roadmap and community engagement.

This collaboration led to the creation of the new products available in an open-source model and our continued commitment to preserve the Chef OSS code base. To enable us to connect, educate, excite and expand our community in meaningful ways, we also launched Chef Roadshow’24 which was crafted by engineers for engineers and reenergized ChefConf.

“From early on, the Chef Community has been a special part of what makes Progress Chef different. It’s a supportive and collaborative space made up not just of colleagues, but in many cases lifelong friends. This in turn makes our solutions stronger and keeps so many of us passionate about the future we can build together.”

Brittany Woods Senior Engineering Manager and long-time Chef user and community member
