I too am curious about this. I noticed another article discussing a potential bug in performance between the two [here](https://community.temporal.io/t/cpu-utilization-with-aws-rds-mysql/3252/13) but no one has responded. Can someone please confirm that there won’t be any issues or if there is actually a difference between using MySQL vs MariaDB
