How can I Shift my Database To MariaDB?

Hi, I have a small website but it has numerous blogs in it and images too. I just want to know that after seeing the size of my website (here's the link: https://www.techravy.com/) can anyone tell me that is it possible for me to shift the database to MariaDB? If yes then how?

Please Note: Before taking any paid support I want to know the process so that I can be sure that I don't lose my data at all and its safe.

Answer Answered by Daniel Black in this comment.

What database software and version is currently running your Database? What OS environment is it currently running?

Peruse the current incompatibility documentation to identify potential blockers - https://mariadb.com/kb/en/compatibility-differences/.

I think the first step is to create a test environment and import the data there. Test this an ensure all the applications that use your database are correct. After practicing/testing this migration, identify how to move the production data.
