Does anyone currently use MariaDb as their backend database in place of mySQL? I read through this article and they claim that MariaDB is a replacement for mySQL and is much more scalable. However, I am wondering if it is compatible with OSSN.

no, not really, they aren't that different in terms of performance.

Thank you for your reply. The reason I was asking was if I end up getting 50,000 members on my site, is there any benefit to switching?

MariaDB is a fork of mysql, and is backwards compatible with all mysql versions. Basically what happened was, Oracle bought MySQL around 2010, and a group of devs decided they didn't like the new direction that Oracle was taking, and so they decided to make their own forked version, calling it MariaDB. For most practical purposes, there isn't much difference and personally I've heard most developers refer to MySQL and MariaDB pretty much interchangeably.

MySQL and MariaDB is same so you can use it on the both.
Due to the many requests in the past for additonal features and components we have decided to develope a premium version. Features like Hashtags, Videos, Polls, Events, Stories, Link Preview, etc included in it.
