Code Review
This pull request updates the README.md file for MariaDB Server, modernizing the content to provide a comprehensive overview of the database. It highlights key features such as native vector search, pluggable storage engines, replication, advanced SQL, and security, while updating sections on documentation, releases, installation, building from source, contributing, getting help, and licensing. There are no review comments, and I have no feedback to provide.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
For more details on the timeline and next steps, please review the Help Documentation.
