MariaDB Server

MySQL is an SQL database server developed by the MySQL team at Oracle and used as a supported database backend for the Magic application builder. The MySQL distribution also includes MySQL Cluster, an open-source transactional database for real-time workloads. It is distributed under the licensing terms described in its repository.

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) developed and maintained by Microsoft. It accepts SQL/T-SQL queries and transactions and produces query results, backups (.bak), exports (CSV, BCP), and data for downstream services; notable capabilities include the T-SQL engine, stored procedures, In-Memory OLTP (Hekaton), columnstore indexes, Temporal Tables, JSON/XML support, PolyBase, and high-availability features such as Always On Availability Groups, replication, and clustering. SQL Server runs on Windows and supported Linux distributions, is offered on-premises and in Azure (including managed variants), and is distributed under commercial licensing with free Developer and Express editions.

Magic Cloud is an open-source, self-hosted full-stack application builder and AI-agent platform. Its API Wizard connects to databases such as SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQL Server and generates secured REST APIs with authentication, role-based access control, CRUD operations, and business logic; endpoints can then be extended from plain-English descriptions without a separate build or deployment step. It can also generate database-backed applications, wrap APIs described by OpenAPI or Swagger specifications, run scheduled Hyperlambda jobs, and expose endpoints as MCP tools for clients such as Claude, Cursor, and Codex. The runtime uses Hyperlambda, a compiled .NET execution environment. The project says its generator produces an abstract syntax tree rather than unrestricted function-call text, allowing generated invocations to be checked against available functions, while sandboxing and RBAC restrict execution. Magic Cloud is self-hostable, distributed under the MIT license, and is developed in the polterguy/magic repository.

Vitess is an open-source, cloud-native database system that provides a MySQL-compatible interface while extending MySQL for larger-scale deployments. Its built-in sharding routes application queries across shards without requiring sharding logic in the application; the video identifies VTGate as the intelligent proxy that parses MySQL queries and sends them to the appropriate shard, with sharding plans specified in a JSON VSchema file. Vitess also provides query rewriting, caching, connection pooling, materialized views, cross-shard messaging, live resharding, background schema changes, and automatic detection and repair of primary failures. It is a graduated Cloud Native Computing Foundation project.

PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database management system maintained by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group. It provides SQL-compliant, ACID transactions, MVCC concurrency, and extensibility through custom types, functions and extensions, and is used for general-purpose and enterprise database workloads.
