MySQL / MariaDB

The most widely deployed open-source relational database, and MariaDB, the community fork that stayed open after Oracle acquired MySQL. The two remain broadly drop-in compatible.

My MySQL and MariaDB experience spans applications at UW-Milwaukee, Starkmedia, QM Quality Matters, and Bader Rutter. At UW-Milwaukee I now maintain the Galera cluster behind SWAPP, the university's Shared Web Application Hosting Environment.
