Zencoder becomes Silver Sponsor of MariaDB Foundation

Zencoder describes itself as “a universal AI platform focused on integrating generative coding workflows into existing developer tools and infrastructure. Connect any CLI to any IDE, starting with Claude Code, Codex and Zen CLI, while leveraging Zencoder’s proprietary enterprise-grade features like multi-repo intelligence. The platform supports on-premise, hybrid, or cloud deployment, with air-gapped and zero-VPC options to maintain enterprise security. Through modular ‘Zen Agents’, Zencoder codifies team practices into shareable, autonomous workflows that continuously code, test, and deploy.”

AI and databases: a natural alignment

We warmly welcome Zencoder as a Silver Sponsor of MariaDB Foundation. Their vision for AI-driven development resonates strongly with our mission of openness, adoption, and continuity. Together, we are building the bridge between the database world and the AI future.”

AI-powered development inevitably depends on databases. Any serious application — whether driven by human developers or AI coding agents — needs to design schemas, write queries, optimize performance, and ensure reliability. By partnering with MariaDB Foundation, Zencoder gains a trusted, open, relational database at the core of their agent ecosystem.

Strengthening the ecosystem together

MariaDB Foundation is pleased to announce that Zencoder has joined as a Silver Sponsor.

AI-assisted MariaDB expertise — developing agents that generate, verify, and optimize MariaDB queries and schemas.
Education and adoption — integrating MariaDB into Zencoder’s AI developer training, while offering Zencoder exposure in the MariaDB University Program.
Shared community growth — amplifying MariaDB’s presence in the AI coding community, and Zencoder’s presence in the database world.

Andrew Filev,
For MariaDB Foundation, this partnership highlights our commitment to the evolving world of AI. As outlined by Kaj Arnö in his recent blog post “Building the bridge that really matters”, MariaDB Foundation seeks to ensure that the database world stays connected to the innovations happening around it — including AI. Zencoder’s sponsorship underlines how MariaDB continues to play a central role in developer productivity, whether the developer is human or AI-driven.

With Zencoder as a Silver Sponsor, MariaDB Foundation looks forward to exploring:

We warmly welcome Zencoder as a Silver Sponsor, and look forward to building this bridge together — strengthening open source, advancing AI, and ensuring that MariaDB remains a trusted foundation for applications of the future.
Databases are at the core of every application. By supporting MariaDB Foundation, Zencoder underlines our belief that AI coding agents should be grounded in reliable, open infrastructure. We look forward to working with the Foundation to help developers everywhere build faster and better.
