Whats the bennefits of using mysql today when mariadb exists.

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?

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.

But we see a large performance regression in MySQL 8 compared to 5.7 or any later MariaDB release.
