ServiceNow and Alibaba. At ServiceNow, our stack was built on top of MySQL from the beginning. It works for us. We left Oracle® MySQL for MariaDB largely because MariaDB actually seems to work to improve things for its bigger customers. Also, our SVP of Engineering is now on the MariaDB board.

AFAIU Alibaba uses AliSQL, based on MySQL 5.6 (not MariaDB): https://github.com/alibaba/AliSQL
