Neither is MariaDB, necessarily... if you think you can simply convert MariaDB databases to MySQL and pick up right where you left off you may be surprised. Depends on a variety of factors including which version you use, what features, the code you've built around it etc.
I would not be surprised. I've done it many times including complicated setups with different databases as replica slaves.
I'm now seeing a lot of new projects that don't care much about DB backend since the library they use to wrap sql calls obscures all that stuff anyway, but I promise you mysql to Maria is a much more common and straightforward transition than to postgresql.
