Whats the bennefits of using mysql today when mariadb exists.
Oracle has put a TON of work into mysql over the last several years. Innodb group replication is a biggie, but not the only substantial improvement mysql has received over MariaDB.
I am also interested in this and how the relationship is between those two. For example can we expect features that come to mySQL be merged into mariadb as well?
Seems a rather threadbare update. A few notable improvements under the hood—which is good since they don't require code changes to see perf improvements—but no new functionality for querying that I can see.

It seems the difference in pace of improvement between MySQL and Postgres continues. The feature gap is widening.

For comparison, the Postgres 16 changes. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/release-16.html
